Importing journal

Is there any reason not to import my livejournal to DW?

Looking at my journal now, it would appear that most content did in fact duplicate. I'm not sure why.

Hm. :\

How did you crosspost them? By setting up external accounts here and checking the tickyboxes on the update page, or by copying and pasting the entry content to the update window on another site?

I mostly use the crossposting utility. There have been a few posts here and there that I have manually cross-posted, due to various reasons like before I had filters set up; but looking now-- all my posts seem to be duplicated. I'm looking at some older posts (August) and they are duplicated-- I'm quite sure I used the crossposting utility for these.

That's probably something to ask Support about.

Will do! Thanks.

I thought I'd let you know, I got a nice response from support. The duplication happened because of the underscore in my username-- confusion over - vs. _ ; they are working on a patch to fix this, and in the meantime can purge my journal of the duplicated content.

Yay DW!

Oh, good. I saw that you had filed a support request, but I lost track of it because it wasn't something I had the skills/privs/ability to solve. :)
