Before joining LiveJounal I was already profiecient with basic HTML tags, generally. But it took me a long time to figure out the lj-cut tag.



Reason being, when you click either "preview" or "show my post" it takes you past the cut! So it appears that the cut didn't work when in fact it did. Such nonesense!

Cutting

Using the lj-cut is as simple as they tell you in the official faq. Simply use the code below (you can copy and paste it). Replace ReadMore with what you want the cut to say (text of the link). Replace BehindTheCut with all the text you want behind the cut. It's that simple. Here's the code:

<lj-cut text="ReadMore">BehindTheCut</lj-cut>

Linking

In case you don't know how to link, I'll tell ya that too. Use the code below. Replace URL with your actual url (beginning with http://) and replace LINKTEXT with what you want your finished link to say.

<a href="URL">LINKTEXT</a>








It's all better now, as you can see.
