Dreamwidth

OK, I'm not quite ready to jump ship, but given my love/hate relationship with LJ, it's probably time to start making a contingency plan. In other words, it's time to get a Dreamwidth account and to start mirroring entries between the two.

So, does anyone have an invite code-thingy for Dreamwidth that I can have? Do we even still need those?

And more importantly, can someone point me in the right direction for a "mirroring" tutorial? If I'm going to post an entry here (or there), I'd like it to be in both places.
