Plea to technological non-idiots aka flist, sorry for the spammage!

Hello... as I am slowly making my way to becoming a real girl (poster) can someone tell me if there's some arcane secret to how one posts to a community that doesn't involve first copy/pasting my document into a journal post and then copy/pasting the same document into a community post?

*is lost* I feel like I'm missing something...

It's easy, don't worry. Just make sure you're a member of the community you want to post to, and when you're viewing the page (and if the comm has open posting, not all of them do), it should have a link saying "Post to this community" at the top of the screen.

You click that link, and then you can write your post just like a normal journal post. No copy-pasting involved, promise.

Thanks ever so much, trillianastra. Now my LJ refuses to let me do cuts, though. I can't even access the rich text option when I post. God effin' damn it!

[trillianastra]

That's OK.

Are you using the right code for cuts?
It should be <*lj-cut(space)text="Whatever you want the cut to say"*>, only take out the *'s and put a space where it says (space).

(It's hard to explain without actually making one, sorry)

Thanks. It's just: when I try copy/pasting the document into the post, it shows up in what I think is rich text. The line-shifts show up. There's no weird code showing ujp anywhere. Does that make it HTML or RT? How do I change back to RT?!?
