I think a lot of people are worried about LJ taking the final dive and taking all their information with it.

They could try using something like LJ-Sec, that might be a little less stressful on both LJ and DW while the issues go on? I've had a lot of success with the newest version of LJ-Sec, even in moving content from my private writing comm on LJ over to my DW site, which was super convenient.

Thanks for the updates on the importer and cross-poster. I know I was a bit miffed when my CP failed even though LJ was up and pretty well functioning at full speed recently.
