LiveJournal help (LJ-cut and linking)

[0_andy_0]

 I made this post for anyone who might be confused about how to put your LJ entries under a cut or how to make links without having to enter the entire URL.   I've taken pictures and used MS paint to help me demonstrate how exactly to do each step.  
If something is still unclear to you, then feel free to ask me about it.

U're my saviour! I have one question tho. Do I press the LJ cut 1st den copy my text or the other way round?

My paragraph always appear weird when i do the former, is that why?

Thanks in advance for ur advise ^^

Select your text first and then press the LJ Cut button. Whatever text you've selected will be under the cut.

I usually just use the HTML tab because I've had problems with the LJ Cut button before. But that's just me.

Glad I could help!

wow, u're fast ^^ Thanks!

Would using html resets all those text (eg bold, italicized texts) in my Msword to plain text?

If it doesn't, it would be so much more easier to using those simply html code to update my entries (>.<)

Thanks again!! ^^

Yeah, when you're using the HTML tab, it won't keep text italicized, underlined, or bolded.

What works for me, is just typing the HTML straight into MS Word and then copying your text into the HTML tab. So as I'm typing, I entered the HTML around the words I want italicized or bolded, instead of going back later and doing it.

Just in case you need them:

To use HTML to italicize type < i > your words here
But make sure you take out the spaces between the i and < > those things

to bold just type < b > Words here

To strike something through like this
enter < s > words here

Underline is < u > words here
