Hello, I saw the part where it said if I have any questions... I am a computer idiot (yes, I know that is not a question). I have a lovely fic for the contest but I don't know how to post it here without posting the whole story. How? How do I do it? Bec keeps trying to help me but it's not going so well. Please help me... And try not to judge

Hi, I'm Diane, one of the maintainers of the community.

LJ can be a bit daunting when you first get into it but I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time. :)

Okay, to post your story, go to http://community.livejournal.com/nhlovenest/profile and if you scroll down a bit, you should see a little picture in the centre of the page that looks like a pencil. Click on that and you'll come to the Update page. (Click here to see a picture example

Copy and paste your entire story in the main box, putting the headings of your story at the top, ie:

Title:
Author:
Pairing/Character(s):
Rating:
Disclaimer:
Word Count:
Spoilers/Warnings:
Summary:
Author's Notes:

You need to put the main part of your story behind what's called a LJ-cut. To do that, type this code:

<*lj-cut text="Type a sentence here like Read More"*>

Enter the main part of your story here and then, at the end, close the cut by typing this:

<*/*lj-cut>

You need to take out the *'s I've put in - they're just there so the code shows up for you.

(Click here for a picture example)

Once you're happy with everything, click on the "Post to nhlovenest" button at the bottom of the page.

After your story is posted, I'll eventually delete this post. For future reference, if you want to post a comment on, for example, the help thread, just click on the 'Post Comment' button.

I hope that helps but if there's any other problem, please feel free to e-mail me at egyptian_pixie@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you! Okay, at one point I thought you were speaking another language but I'll try to do what you said.

Hey! HEY! It kind of worked... I think? Also, after all of that I am only going to be about 15 min. late for work! WhooT!!!!

Thanks again!!

Yay, I'm glad! Thanks for taking part in this challenge; I'm glad Bec convinced you to post it. As soon as I've read it, I'll post feedback for you.
