But at least some of the entries in this timeframe were echoed from my old band blog, which would've been direct - I set that up originally to use JournalPress to crosspost to here (as a normal post, with comments enabled), and then use Dreamwidth to crosspost further back to Livejournal with comments (there) disabled and a pointer back here. And I'm pretty sure JournalPress doesn't mark posts backdated, as I wanted them to appear in friendlists.
