Here are the instructions I was given. It took about an hour for my LJ to import here.
1. Go to your Dreamwidth profile page. Choose "organize". Click on "import content." 2. This will take you to an "Import Journal" page. At the bottom click the button that says "start another import". (If it's your first import, it may say "start import"). 3. This will take you to a different "Import Journal" page. Where it says "choose a service to import from" click on LiveJournal. Below that are two boxes. Fill in your LIVEJOURNAL name and your LIVEJOURNAL password. Click on the button that says "continue". 4. This will take you to yet another "Import Journal" page. There will be a list of things to import. Click on everything. Then click "continue" at the bottom. 5. This will take you to a page to confirm the import. If it's got all the info correct, then click on the "start import" button at the bottom. 6. This takes you to the last page. If you only have the one journal, then there is nothing else to do but to occasionally click on where it says "refresh" on the little bar below the "Import status" every so often. The things that are finished will turn green, and it will tell you what's been done and what's waiting to be done. Do NOT click on the usual refresh thingie at the top of your taskbar. Do NOT click the "start another import" button at the bottom. Go do something else for a little while and then come back and click where it says "refresh" again, until all the uploads are finished. Your first import will take longer, since it will be uploading everything you've ever done on LJ.
