Imports from LJ re-enabled

[denise]

After a bunch of testing, we are pleased to announce that we've been able to re-enable imports from LiveJournal. Apologies for the delay: we were waiting for the LJ cookie changes to stabilize and be documented!

Thanks go to LJ for making their changes more backwards-compatable. If you'd like to start a new import from LJ, you can do so at the Import Content page.

I don't think I am understanding then. If you changed something on LJ after your last import, it will update your entries here with those changes. Is that what you want to know?

[monanotlisa]

Yes, sorry for being unclear: Since DW is my primary, I wish it were dominant, ie that only where there is no like content on DW, LJ is added (but doesn't overwrite, say, my corrected DW tags).

[jumpuphigh]

Gotcha! As far as I know, it will add the tags from LJ but not change the ones you already have here.

Can someone else jump in and verify that for me?

Thank you!

It won't edit anything entry-related, but it will pull in the new comments!

[jumpuphigh]

Thank you for clarifying!

Actually, we don't pull in any entry edits (yet); but we will pull in new comments.

Thank you!
