I think things have gotten better! I've tried to make an icon post since posting my last comment and Dreamwidth's image hosting situation isn't actually as bad as I'd remembered - I've already got a google account that I use for fannish stuff so it's just a case of putting anything I want to post into a shareable folder, and voila!

(That being said, I can't imagine trying to run a business through LJ/Dreamwidth - that would be nightmarish...)

It's neat having you here, too! I much prefer this style of blogging, if I'm totally honest. Even when I was having a relatively good time on Tumblr I missed the friend-lock option...
