From LiveJournal to WordPress

from-livejournal-to-wordpress

WordPress has built a proper LiveJournal importer.

It’s simple to use and preserves tags and comments. If you’re sick of LJ’s shit, there’s never been a better time to switch from LiveJournal to WordPress.

Right now it’s just for the hosted blogs at WordPress.com, but they’ll soon enable it for people who host WordPress blogs on their own servers as well.

I’m really glad that WordPress it turning into a more viable LJ alternative, because their system is much more advanced and their policies are far less… nutty. :)

    I hope they implement e-mail notifications for comments as well! I liked that there is the threaded option on 2.7, but I switched back to the plugin when I saw that notifications weren’t an option. If they’re moving to cater more towards the LJ-style users, maybe it’s on the horizon.

    It’s nice to see that they’re in such active development. Even the fact that they added threaded comments within the past year is really encouraging. *crosses fingers for more soon*
