What I found of value was the discussion ABOUT the link-- particularly the tips on how to find an "old internet" (e.g. de-commercialized and personalized) filtered out from the spam blogs and SEO elite. Here's the useful links that I found in that discussion (plus a few of my own), organized into general tips. Less ads, more people.

Dreamwidth moods are the words like "angry," "sad," "happy" and so on you see at the bottom of your text edit box and (generally) below your entries, denoting the mood associated with the post. A mood theme is a set of static or animated images (up to 100 by 100 pixels) to visually differentiate these moods.

You don’t need Google, Facebook, Twitter etc in your life, and you don’t need to be rich or a tech nerd either! Growing your own services is much easier and cheaper than you think.

How you used to get people looking at your website before "going viral" was a thing, in the Web 1.0 days when people surfed the information superhighway by clicking on links to go from site to site. 1. The "Links" page! Every site had a page that was just links to other websites that the site owner thought were cool. You could email other site owners whose sites you thought were cool and ask if they thought your site was cool too, and they'd link back to you.

This document exists to lay out some general principles of running a small social network site that have worked for me. These principles are related to community building more than they are related to specific technologies.
