I've been looking some pages back and couldn't find anything resembling my question, so sorry if it's been asked before...
I'm moving here permanently from LJ and think about importing my entries. now my question is, if I import entries with comments, do the commenters (from LJ) get somehow notified about me having an account here on DW? Like OpenID or something? I'm not very good with such things... ^^ help is greatly appreciated. tia. :)

Also, I know you can set up your DW account to corss-post to LJ and set it so that people have to follow a link to your DW account to comment using their OpenID.
The way OpenID works is that it's pretty much automatically implemented as soon as you sign up with LJ, WordPress, TypePad, or certain other services. If you have an account with all of them, those are all your OpenIDs. So when comments get imported from LJ to DW, it imports them as OpenID comments to those LJ acounts, so people on LJ who aren't on DW (yet! :smile:) simply log in using theirname.livejournal.com and their LJ password. They can even upload an avatar on here, if they intend to comment regularly.
So yeah, announce it to your LJ, with or without continuing to x-post, and spread the word. :-)
