LJ Posting reminder--use Cuts!

As I wade through my friends page lately, I notice that more and more of us are sending our impassioned stories out and forgetting to use Cuts. And our stories are getting very long.

It's not that I won't look behind the cuts. I do. But when you don't use a cut, I'm likely to rush by your writing to see who has posted, and how many I need to try and read during that break. And if you post a very long link, you pull everyone else's Friends Page out of alignment.

So--if you don't know how to use cuts, and want to, here's the link:

If you do, remember to use them so we can have the joy of "opening" your letter to us! Thank you!

Thanks. I've been wondering how others were doing this. I experimented on two recent postings and it's much neater, imho.

Glad it was useful! I had to learn from someone else posting this link--the FAQs are informative, but rather daunting without a guide...

Thank you! I was feeling grumpy about this, too.

Some people don't know how to do it yet. Some we may have to send the link to...but in the meantime, maybe this will help! 8^)
