are you engaged in Dreamwidth?

[mellowtigger]

Someone has started a post to help everyone find active writers on Dreamwidth. They offer a sample HTML clip that's easy to copy and paste to the thread. Here is my addition to the subscription thread.

Preferred name and/or pronouns:
MellowTigger, Terry, he
What's the story behind your default icon?
I "borrowed" the image from someone on Livejournal, and then Dodecadragon (who has since deleted his Livejournal and Dreamwidth accounts) converted it to Dreamwidth for me.
Favorite Dreamwidth communities, if any:
I hope to find one.
Your dominant identity or identities on Dreamwidth so far:
I write about anything that interests me, so it covers topics from personal to global.
Describe yourself using up to six of your journal tags and/or interests on your profile page:
gardening, astronomy, powershell, autism, giblets, bicycle
Places around Dreamwidth people might know you from:
Not yet, I hope to get more involved.
What do you hope to get out of participating in this meme?
I want to find other active posters.
Anything else you'd like people to know?
Nope.
Creative free space:
Nope, it's all in my blog.

I admit that I've spent little time at reading on Dreamwidth. I pledge to spend more time here while decreasing my time at google+. Although g+ is nice, it still doesn't promote in-depth conversations about any topics. It's great for sharing headlines, but it's not a good platform for complicated examination of any topic. I hope Dreamwidth will eventually develop full service image hosting, as that impediment is currently my biggest barrier to participation.

Just wanted to drop by to thank you for the signal boost, and also to mention that Dreamwidth is definitely developing native image hosting (and brainstorming other future goodies). If you're looking for more active writers on Dreamwidth, you might also want to check out yifu's Writers Friending Meme from earlier this year.
