There were times, even during the attacks, when it was possible to go through, which indicates to me that someone was working very hard and trying everything they could to keep LJ up.

The closest thing would probably be to comment through OpenID, where you can specify which other journal site you are posting from. Both DW and LJ allow you to comment using OpenID, I think, and it's relatively easy to sign up for it. That's not the same thing as commenting using your Dreamwidth account, though.<br /><katyazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293758257812029634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049018105272921172.post-30785040490682366022011-04-08T11:51:59.372-04:002011-04-08T11:51:59.372-04:00Thanks, Katya, it seems clear now.
