You use lj cuts when you have a really loooonnnnng text and you're not sure every one will want to read the whole thing (see A_P and nerual's examples on your friends page).
For example if you wrote.....a story about.......magical fruit, you could introduce your story then add the lj cut. When your friends see it on their friends page, they would see the introduction, then something that says Read more... which they can click on to see the rest of the text (or in your case the story)
To use lj cuts (still using the magical fruit ex.): Type your introduction. Then < l j - c u t > ***minus all the spaces(I'm just making sure it doesn't go into effect now) and when you've finished writing your story type < / l j - cut > *****again, minus all the spaces.
Let me know if my explanation makes absolutely no sense, and I'll direct you to where I first learned about them. (In case you're wondering why I didn't do that in the first place.....I'd have to find it again...and that might take awhile)
