Hi! I hope you don't mind me popping in. Since you won't be able to purchase a paid account until Open Beta (April 30th), DW allows you to temporarily switch your account to faux paid here: http://www.dreamwidth.org/misc/beta.bml
On April 29th-ish they'll set everyone back to free. This will temporarily freeze most of your icons. Then on the 30th you can purchase a paid account which will unfreeze your icons again. :)
I was going to post what moonie did, but she had way more detail than I did. :-) So for now, welcome to Dreamwidth!
Also, what did you post over at our mutual community? I can tell it's about Dreamwidth, but since it's on LJ and not DW (we need to come up with a better abbrevation, else I will continually be confusing it with Doctor Who) I can't read the whole post, just the subject line. I am extremely curious. *pouts* Email me if that works better for you. :-)
Hee! I was just posting about how I've created the communities I'm involved with over here. goin_my_way, doctor_rose_fix, and the_spdn are all up and sort-of-running. :D Naturally, prairie_team will get an invite as soon as I can get one. ;)
I've been on several Dreamwidth-related mailing lists since last summer, and of course, they are all something like "DW-Discussion". It took me awhile to get over the double-take. And some of my tagging is very confused. :-)
Ah-ha! I figured that it was probably something like that. Yeah, poor prairie_team is going to have to wait.
I know! It was so hard (and then I found, interestingly enough, that when I could only have six, one is my identifying 'butterfly' and the rest are women (well, one also has the Doctor in it)).
I'm waiting for them to up the cap so I can do a straight import. Right now it's at 150, and they're probably going to up it to 200 so current permanent LJ members are covered. (Right now the importer chokes on your icons entirely if you even have the capability to have more icons than the 150 cap.)
