You're welcome! I hope it helps. I already noticed this post cross-linked on someone else's page, so the word is spreading!

That's a really great article, thanks for sharing.

As to ljcuts, go to edit and change the upper right hand corner to Rich Text. That will bring up a menu along the top of the dialog box. Highlight what you want to hide behind the cut and click the jagged line (it kind of looks like a heart monitor) A little window will pop up and you can set the cut title then click ok and you should be off.

Thanks for the help. I figured out the cut thing now, but I put too much behind the cut and can't figure out how to turn it off and re-set what I want behind the cut! *pulls out hair*

*snort* I got nothing on that side. Maybe if you change it to html in the right hand corner, you can erase the ljcut tags and restart?

It should be so easy! I tried that and after accidently deleting half my post about 15 times I just gave up! But I is a learning this LJ coding stuff! :) Now if I could only figure out how to make those little hearts I keep seeing! :D

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess this is one of those times I can say I know how you feel and it's not just the usual platitudes
