Last chance for free open account creation at Dreamwidth.

[nenena]

Shamelessly copy and pasting from rydra_wong:

Open account creation at Dreamwidth is currently scheduled to close at the end of 2011.

After that, free account creation will go back to requiring an invite code. There are always lots of invite codes at dw_codesharing; just check the codes available tag.

If you buy any amount of paid time (I believe the minimum is $3?), you don't need an invite code, and your account will lapse back to being a free account once the time runs out.

rydra_wong also has a fairly comprehensive guide to getting started on Dreamwidth.
