So sorry, but I'm having technical difficulties...

So sorry to post this, but I'm trying to post a fic here but I'm having some technical difficulties. I'm relativley new to LJ and don't know how to do a Livejournal cut. I attempted to use the "LiveJournal Cut" button on the "Post an Entry" page, and I copied my fic in, but when I previewed it, the whole things appeared, no cut, nothing. Is this supposed to happen? Also, is there a way to cut directly to the entry on my particular LJ if I've already posted it there? I would be ever so grateful for some assistance as I am extremely confused and hopeless. Thanks so much. So sorry to bother everyone.

Annoyingly, previews show cut contents, not the cuts. Easiest way to do it is to type <lj-cut text="what the cut says">
then put your story here then at the end </lj-cut>

thanks so so much! I figured it was something like that, but I wasn't sure and I was extremly confused. Thanks again:)

I think what you want to do is link, not cut. :)

In rich text mode:

1) Type out the text you want to use.
2) Highlight the portion you want to serve as the link.
3) Click on the Insert/Edit Link button and type in the rest of the URL.

In HTML mode, you type [a href="URL address here"]Name of the link here[/a]

Substitute < and > for [ and ]. :)
