Livejournal To Dreamwidth

raloriaAfter fearing how long importing my LJ to my Dreamwidth journal would be, it took less than a day. And that's with over 14,000 entries! I'm very impressed!
Sadly, none of the comments imported over.
When I tried to do another import with just the comments selected, it wouldn't work without also selecting the entries. So I guess I'll have to give up on retrieving the comments. *sigh*
But the important part is the posts/entries. At least they're saved!
Only about 3 didn't import and they're from 2013 and for some reason the caps are missing, so there's nothing in the posts anymore. Weird. So no big loss there.
The tags all imported as well, but there's a lot of cleanup to do. Darned LJ and it's automatic tagging of all hashtags! Grrrr!
Right now I'm attempting to import over all the stuff from![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
spn_locations. It keeps aborting. :(
EDIT: Success! However, it failed to import the posts I had set for Private because they were entries I was still working on. Hmph! Guess I'll have to copy & paste them over.
If I have time, I'll also import over my other comms:hurtwinchesters, spnconcatalog, spn_ontheset (Note below).
I fear I'll probably losepositively_spn, but I was considering shutting it down anyway.

I can already see there's gonna be a TON OF WORK to do cleaning up things on the Dreamwidth side of all of this. Plus, I'm still trying to figure DW out! Not everything is as clear to use as it is on LJ. I mean...I've had DW for YEARS, but I've hardly ever used it! And can I say this is all crazy trying to do this much stuff (in amongst everything else!) in only a few days!

NOTE: For the time being I'll continue to post the same thing to both LJ & Dreamwidth journals.

Plus...I found out there is no way to bulk download the images from LJ's Scrapbook. Peachy! So I'm just going to asssume I have all of those images already saved elsewhere & forget about them. But this is why I no longer see any point to importing
