Glad to finally have you here! To get yourself oriented, kate has put together an excellent DW starter kit, and there's always the official Guide to Dreamwidth for LJ Users.

I especially love synecdochic's weekly Monday Pride Thread, and the Follow Friday meme. (You can find both via the starter kit.) And for poetic expressions of Dreamwidth love, check out dreamwidth_haikai. (One day, someone else will post there too. Perhaps that person will be you?)
