Just a reminder, as per our community guidelines:

4. Posting links to outside sites... yes, we're interested in other sites, for sure! So if you've found an interesting recipe and/or site, go ahead and post the link. However, if you have a regular cooking journal or blog outside of LJ, please do not simply post info and pics of the recipe/dish and just a link to it. Please post all the information - recipe and pics - inside a post in this community. Use appropriate lj-cut tags to avoid making them too long. This community is here to share those recipes and pics, and we'd like to archive them here, too.

Please start posting recipes in your posts here (after the several I've seen that have links to the outside blog).

Thank you!

EDIT: If I go to read the comments, the recipe shows. You'll need to update the LJ Cut to actually have it direct to the cooking post rather than to your personal blog.

Hi, thank you. I actually have a problem with the LJ cut. This is why I even started including a notice before it: "To view the recipe, please click on the post title. The cut works incorrectly." - in this post and several previous posts.
I use regular LJ cut: {lj-cut}, {/lj-cut}, but it works this weird way - directs to my journal.
Would be grateful if you could suggest a way to solve this.
Thanks a lot!

Try putting some text after you end the cut; I have observed posts with something after the cut seem to work correctly. It's worth trying, at any rate.

Thank you, I added text after the end of the cut, but it doesn't seem to change the situation :(

Hmm. Well, it was worth a shot. There went my brilliant idea!

In my experience, LJ cuts should go like this:

~lj-cut text="blah blah blah"~

Text!

~/lj-cut~

Try that, see if that works, but with < > instead of the ~

Thank you. Just did that. Unfortunately it still works the same way.

I think it's because you're copying and pasting from the post in your own journal, so it links back to the post in your journal. Try changing the hyperlink address in the cut to the community post.
