The intention of making my DW my main residence is almost complete. When I got this account in June 2010 I never would have believed that it would become my primary journal one day. But, yeah, with the way things are over at livejournal right now I feel it's the right thing to do.
So in the last two weeks I've been working hard on making myself comfy here. First, I've
changed my user name to the more familiar reijamira. Next thing was a
new layout. The old one was okay but the font was entirely too tiny to read comfortably. Unfortunately, it didn't look pretty with a bigger font so I had to go looking for a completely new style. Not an easy untertaking. But I've finally
found one that I liked. I tweaked it a bit so it fit my tastes better and gave it an overall Supernatural themed look.
( I made a screenshot of my new layout. Wanna see? )In a next step I decided to
get myself a Premium Paid Account which allows me to have 250 icons (Fuck yeah, icons!). After that I
went on an icon hunt. Since I've recently got back into the
Supernatural fandom I especially wanted to have LOTS of SPN icons. Man, I really had to dig deep until I hit pay dirt. Problem was a lot of the icons didn't show up due to Photobucket's new ToS (what's with all the harebrained ToS changes lately?). I
ranted about that in my last entry. Anyway, I managed to save quite a lot of SPN icons to my computer (almost 500 to be exact. You never know when Photobucket blocks the rest of the image links. Argh, the immeasurable loss! So I took precautions and saved every single icon that was to my liking.)
After I got myself well supplied with icons the
bio on my profile was the next big thing in need of an update. I did that yesterday. It's gotten longer than I thought, but, oh well, at least it gives a good overview of who I am.
Now, I feel almost at home. The only things that are missing are a
mood theme (working on it) and
new friends, of course. My reading list could use a bit more action.
Apart from that I really like it here. I hope there will be more active fannish communities in the future so that I won't need to check LJ anymore.
For all my LJ friends, if you have an account on Dreamwidth, I'm also
reijamira over there. Let's stay in touch. :)
