Now that you've imported your LJ journal to Dreamwidth, you might have noticed that you have some "people" on your profile of the form "lj-username.livejournal.com". Those are OpenID accounts, and by default they're attached to imported comments. If you've ever posted a comment on a journal that was imported here, you have one of these too.

You'd probably rather see your comments as coming from "you", not "you.livejournal.com". Fortunately, you can claim them -- so long as you still have your LJ account to authenticate to. Then they'll show up as coming from "you" like they should, and you'll have the usual ownership rights (edit, delete) on them.

Here's the documentation. Basically, you log into LJ, tell DW "that's me", wait an hour, and click on the link they email you. That's it.
