General IJ:

Got a problem?
http://www.insanejournal.com/support/

What's that thing I keep hearing about, an ellll-jay?

where_is_lj - for updates on what's happening at LJ - so when LJ goes down you can go there for updates on what's happening, if it's just you or the entire world.

07refugees - I'm not entirely sure what's on there, having never followed it, but I remember it had some good info on there, though it's made up by a lot of people very angry at LJ and moving off of LJ during the strikethrough thing. Definitely a place to go if your unhappy with LJ's policies.


Baby got back:
And if you want to back up your LJ to IJ try using the method detailed here:

IJ is also compatible with LJbook which is a way to back up your blog to PDF or arrange to have it printed. =)
