How to Use the LJ-Cut Tag
Are you new to LiveJournal?
Or perhaps you're just unfamiliar with the LJ-Cut tag?
It's very EASY to learn how to use it.
Q: Why should I use the lj-cut tag?
A: Here at our community, use of the lj-cut tag is REQUIRED.
But it's a good idea to use it everywhere -- even in your personal journal. If you have a habit of posting long entries, the lj-cut tag makes long entries more 'flist (LJ friends) friendly.'
Posting photos (and other images) often will cause problems for various journal styles, making them hard to read. The same is true for links (especially long links). Again, the lj-cut tag can take care of the problem!
Q: But you can't SEE what I've written! Where does it go?
A: The lj-cut tag is like putting a cover on a book. You click the lj-cut link to 'open' the book and read the contents.
Remember: The lj-cut tag is your friend!
Q: Okay, you've convinced me! But how do I use it?
A: Simple!
