i am closing my LJ down
Nov. 16th, 2009 03:12![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
piranhamy paid LJ account runs out today.
i've pulled all my images off scrapbook, and have privatized all my entries before november 13. in a couple of days i will privatize the remaining ones as well, and i will no longer crosspost; i don't want my content to be used to display advertising.
for now i will continue to use my LJ account to comment, so nobody needs to make access changes at this time; though you can safely remove my LJ if you're reading me in some other way.
if you are not on dreamwidth, and you want to continue to read my entries and comment, you have several choices:
i know this will be inconvenient for some of you, but it's less effort than following somebody on blogger or wordpress or their own site, and i do that for oodles of people. if it's too much effort for you, then be well; maybe we run across each other in another net incarnation some other time. i will not auto-remove anyone who does no longer read me, but the next time i have an energy crunch, people who don't interact with me will likely drop off the radar. anyway, no hard feelings.

if you are not on dreamwidth, and you want to continue to read my entries and comment, you have several choices:
- get a dreamwidth account. i have free invites; just ask.
- use your LJ openID to establish a reading account on dreamwidth (instructions), and subscribe to me.
- friend the RSS feed of my dreamwidth account on LJ:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
piranha_dw_feed. RSS feeds are not reliable on LJ at this time; they can cut out for days without notice. also, i am not releasing anything but the title into the feed (see "don't want my content used for ads"); you'll have to click to see the entry. i will not read comments on that feed. - as yvi just reminded me, you can of course also read my RSS or atom feed in any non-LJ feed reader. grab the RSS or the atom feed URL.
- for the time being, you can also comment anonymously (though please sign), so you don't need an account anywhere. all my entries will be public (with the possible exception of surprises for somebody), ergo there's generally no problem with access. i am, however, screening anon comments, so there will be a delay until yours appears.
