Importing entries to Dreamwidth

Can someone tell me how to import Livejournal entries into Dreamwidth? Or is it only paid accounts that can do it?

later - never mind, found the link.

Welcome to The Collective. Have you met our Queen? =:o}

To be honest, I'm not sure it was worth the effort, most of my friends are still here only.

But at least now you have:
(a) a fully functional backup copy of your LJ;
(b) easy access to the folks who *are* on DW;
(c) ongoing access to the folks on LJ;
(d) an easy means of posting to one site and still have your content remain in sync on both, equally accessible to your friends whichever site they're on;
(e) the knowledge that if either site tries to screw you over, you can tell 'em to go stuff themselves, and continue using the other service without any interruption.

It's not quite the grand ideal we were hoping for when the LJ code was first used to form new sites, and OpenId offered the promise of having all the sites able to talk to each other as if they were one big distributed site (subject to the user deciding to veto a specific site if they didn't like what was going there)... But it beats being trapped in a monopoly! =:o}
