Dreamwidth Links
A collection of links for Dreamwidth-specific guides, advice, tips etc.
Dreamwidth is an online home for creative people of all types. We're part social network, part blogging system, and part content management system — and our site is designed to be easy to use even if you don't know what any of those things are.
You can share what you do easily on Dreamwidth, whether it's writing, artwork, essays, photography, poetry, or your life and dreams. You can also find others who create the kinds of things you enjoy.
You can control who has access to what you create with our privacy settings.
You can join special interest communities on Dreamwidth. Communities are where people who share an interest come together to discuss that interest with each other. If you don't find one for what you're interested in, you can create it.
We are an independent, Open Source, community-centric service. We support diversity in all its forms. (source)
