  I would SO head to DreamWidth to do my Perl stuff if I could afford it (which I can't) or if an invite code fell into my hands.

      Well, few things I would like to mention here
      First 25$ a year is not much (The premium account is 40$ a a year but the difference is not that big anyway, so you may save the extra 15$)

      And apparently Dreamwidth seems to be trying to create or attract a community of serious bloggers who are willing to pay for their services.

      So anyway, if you are serious about blogging 25$ doesn't seem that much. And its what will keep them floating!

          I like what DreamWidth is doing, and I'll pay for them if I get any money at all, but I just do not have it right now. (I have GOT to start looking for some telecommute work after my family's garage sale is done this weekend.)

            Fair enough -- though I suspect that most people who use use.perl.org or would like an LJ are not in that situation.
