the-agent-x.livejournal.com posting in

Hello. I've just joined this community, and am rather new to Live Journal. So, I have no idea how this is supposed to work. I've never really posted anything before, but would like to put up a fic. Is anyone able to instruct me on this account? Regardless, thank you for reading, and sorry for taking up your time.

Nope. I'm sorry, I'm just technologically challenged. I can't get it to work properly. The cut just goes to my journal, not the wide, white pages that usually appear. Furthermore, I can't get it to work with an outside link.

I'm really sorry to bother you like this. If you have the time, are you able to help any more?

When you create the entry, at the top of the entry page there is a spot for you to choose where your posting it. Make sure that this community is chosen first or it wont go here. I have the community set up for the pages to always be in the layout style, so those white pages wont show up because of the layout settings I use.

For an outside link (such as to fanfiction.net or to link it from a post in your journal to here) you use a different coding.

Another option that might be easier on you (but is annoying to me personally probably because I know all the tags) is to use the rich text editor when you post. With that you cant use your own tags like the ones I have shown you because it will do them for you. Up at the top you tell it what link you want to link to and type the name and it will do the coding from the textbox above for you. It will also give you a lightly colored box if you choose the LJcut and whatever you want inside that box you just type in there and it does all the hardstuff for you. I find it annoying mostly because I hate their tempermental formatting and the whole thing is buggy to me, but thats just my opinion. I know people who swear by it.
