Entry tags:

Importing LJ without tags and access lists

I have a question about importing. I want to import my LJ account, but I don't want to import the tags or the access lists/filters applied to the posts. If I import comments, it states that it will import all journal entries. Are the entries imported as public or private? I don't mind if everything imported is set to private initially. I can manually turn on which items I want to be public. I do, however, want to make sure that not everything shows up as public.

Does this make sense at all?

Yes, I think that's true. I wanted mine set to private because I only foresee using the imported entries as a backup - if I do unprivate some posts later, it'll only be a select few. If you want it *exactly* the way it is on LJ - public, locked, filtered, private - set your DW to minimum security "public" before you import. I think.

that sounds about right, I think.
