I joined lj in January of 2007, after what’s now refered to in our circles as the great LJ exodus; many had left, but many were still around. Even back then, it seemed clunkier than blogger, but the community was certainly more thriving. Over the years, I’ve blogged on and off, and had even been thinking about moving to my own server and domain for a while, but that hadn’t quite taken off, until recently. I started blogging at pchengi.com earlier this month, and was looking for means to migrate my lj posts there, and setup an automated crossposting system. I came across ljcharm , which I used, for both backing up my posts, and setting up a cross-posting system. I will no longer write posts here directly, but my posts will continue to get crossposted here. I’d like to have your comments directly on my new blog, but if you feel more comfortable writing here, that’ll be fine too. Thanks for all the love and affection you’ve shown me, and I hope to continue to enjoy that in the days and years to come.
