Livejournal are adding affiliate IDs to your links

Go here for details on what it does and how to turn it off.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] marrog for pointing this one out.

If the livejournal company don't want my presence because it's not worth it to them, then fair enough, but if so it obviously behooves me to pave the way to jumping ship SOMEWHERE.

If our kind host will allow me one brief moment of self-pimpage, we at Dreamwidth would love your presence and treat it eminently respectfully, so if you choose to jump ship to us, I can provide invites to anyone who wants or needs them :)

(And editing because I forgot to add: we make it very easy to migrate from LJ, with the chance to completely import your LJ with comments and entries attached, and we make it easy to crosspost back to LJ. Soon we will also have the ability to read your LJ friends page from inside your DW reading page. These are but a few of the awesome upgrades we have, many of which have been suggested multiple times on LJ and gone nowhere. I'll hush now, really.)

I should probably repost an account of my experience of starting to crosspost to dreamwidth; for the benefit of other people who would like to; I signed up a while before that, but only switched when it was really easy.

I was waiting until the LJ reading went live first. Then I planning to move to DW, and start paying for hosting.

Oh, hello, pleased to meet you. Don't worry, I already HAVE jumped ship to dreamwidth (jack on dreamwidth, beau of liv on dreamwidth) and think you/we've been doing an awesome job there, but am still reading and crossposting to livejournal as long as many of my friends are here.
