Importing Character Journal Content

1. You’ll find the import tool under Organize > Import Content in the menu. (Although DW warns that this process might take as long as a day, I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes.)


2. Select “InsaneJournal” from the list of services.


3. Enter the username and password of your character’s IJ journal. Click “Continue.”


4. The next screen will ask you what you want to import: Profile data, Friends, Custom security groups, Journal entries, Journal comments, Tags, Icons, with explanations for all.
   
   
   • This only includes content on your journal, i.e. your apps, timetables, everything in your dropbox. The mods will take care of importing posts/comments on the game comms.
   
   
   • The icon import will fail if you have more than 15 icons. That’s inconvenient, however you can run imports as many times as you want so you can always try again when you’ve got a paid account to get all 100 of your icons.
   
   For my first time, I selected everything except “Icons” and “Update icon keywords” because I don’t have enough free icon slots on DW. Click “Continue.”


5. Check that everything looks right. Click “Start Import.” Your import request will enter the queue. You can close the window, and return to Import Content to see when it’s done.

Claiming Your Character’s OpenID

1. Be absolutely certain that this is the DW username you want to use for your character. This is irreversible, so if you end up regretting claiming your character’s old posts and comments with “azursexxxybabybird” then no one can help you.


2. Make sure you’re logged into the InsaneJournal journal you want to claim. In my case, I want to claim “stokers” (IJ) with “threatens” (DW), so I’m logged into both on my computer.


3. Go to Claim OpenID Account.


4. Enter the full url of your InsaneJournal. In my case, it’s “stokers.insanejournal.com”


5. Once you click “Claim Account,” you’ll be redirected to InsaneJournal, where you’ll be asked to verify your identity. Click “Yes; just this time.”


6. An email will be sent to whatever email you’re using for your DW journal. This will take awhile, so go write tags or marathon Ghost Adventures, whatever. You do not need to be signed into both accounts anymore. The email will be titled “Your Dreamwidth Students Request” and it took about 20 minutes for me.


7. Once you click the confirmation link in the email, the claiming process will begin. Once it’s done, all of the posts/comments which were imported from IJ will now be attributed to your DW journal, like so.
