How do I...?

Join a group but not have its massive number of posts consume my friends page?

Make an LJ cut?

Reference someone else's LJ name in a post?

If you go into the page where you manage your friends list right after you join, simply uncheck the box next to the community name. That way you'll still be a member, but it will for sure not be taking up absurd amount of friends page space.

An LJ cut is done as such:
[lj-cut]insert content here[/lj-cut]
or
[lj-cut text="Whatever you want the cut to say instead"]insert content here[/lj-cut]

To reference someone's name:
[lj user="name"] or, for a community, [lj comm="name"]

For both of these, replace [ and ] with < and > respectively.

I tend to use the Rich Text Editor for most of my work like that - it gives buttons that make most of my editing of my posts a lot easier. I say most as sometimes it screws up, particularly when I have an LJ name in a cut section. When that happens is when I have to go wading through my HTML to fix it manually - a real pain in the neck.

The way khandreia described above is the "correct" way to do it though. 8-) It's also how I just referenced her name in this comment.
