Any advice how to copy and paste content into a cut? I have trouble getting that to work for me.

[alee_grrl]

Thank you for your powerful poem. It really captures that strange uncertainty than can plague those who are questioning and/or asexual.

If you want to have specific text in a cut tag the html coding should read ‹cut text="(what you want the text to read)"›. At the end of the post you would have ‹/cut›. Hope that helps.

[primeideal]

Belated thanks, and yes it does work! Preview is finicky, alas.

[alee_grrl]

You're welcome. Cut tags only show up on the main journal page and not on the entry itself, so preview won't show it. I usually just check my recent entries page to be sure it worked correctly and if not, then I do a quick edit post.

[primeideal]

Yep, figured that much, and have been doing plenty of editing myself! Still, it really helps to know the HTML code, so thanks.

[alee_grrl]

Glad to help. :D
