Dreamwidth Back-Up

I backed up my stuff at dreamwidth late last night (I was procrastinating sleep). Right now, it's just a straight import of my LJ. I don't have crossposting set up - and I don't know anything about dreamwidth or how to use it. I'm not planning to move over there either...but, given recent changes to LJ and the seemingly rather poor attitude towards their users, I decided that I should have a back-up, just in case.

The clothing catalogue is over there too, but of course all the links in it link back to LJ...so, if I were to ever move over there completely, I'd have to go through 186 entries and relink them all properly. So, yeah...don't expect that to happen any time soon.

Anyway, you can find me at http://hells-half-acre.dreamwidth.org/

Hello Dreamwidth People

 First order of business: If you are my friend on LJ and want to be my friend on DW, but have a different username...could you tell me who you are?

Secondly: Does reverse crossposting work? I'm trying to figure out how to keep both DW and LJ simultaneously up-to-date, but I want to post on LJ because that's where all my wonderful icons are. (On DW, I just have a random selection). So...can I post on LJ and have it post automatically on DW? Or will I just have to remember to import my LJ entries once a week or something?

Any help would be appreciated...I am trying to write a novel and move house and work for a living...
