Here's a list of the official Dreamwidth communities where you can find answers to a lot of questions:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=65

The best statement of what Dreamwidth is about is probably here.

As far as "you are't going to to compete with Lj are you?" goes, I know somewhere or other there's an official statement about that. I'm not in any way an "official" voice of Dreamwidth here, just a fellow member, but I can tell you from my recollection that Dreamwidth's business plan is not "steal all of LJ's users." [personal profile] synecdochic has a lot of interesting things about the philosophy of Dreamwidth and its relationship to LJ, and she is an official voice.

Oh, and welcome!

Better to check on [staff profile] denise - that's the official staff account *g*.

Meh. I keep forgetting that.

Thanks!

Actually it's probably better to link to [staff profile] denise in this case - the idea of having a staff account is that official posts will be made from *that* account, and that anything said from a non-staff account shouldn't be treated as if it were a staff member talking, I believe.

[edit: ...meh, I thought I had scrolled down enough already. Maybe not. D: Sorry for the repetition.]
