Ugh, LJ, why so faily...

dangermousieFreaking LJ now won't take you to you specific page for a post when you click the LJ cut but instead opens it up on my main LJ page. I don't want that. It fucks up the formatting of my main page as I mainly use cuts to post humongous pics. It also prevents from easy commenting right there. I found a work-around but it's a giant pain. Ugh, WTF is with LJ making unneeded changes. I am researching WordPress now, it's the last straw (I have a DW but that's mainly dead and my LJ is sorta like a blog anyway).
Ugh. WTF with changing things that work fine to start with?

Date: 2012-10-04 03:58 am (UTC)I was getting pretty close to fed up with LJ and I think this might be the final straw. I have a permanent account so my money is lost either way, but if the functionality annoys me, there is no point using this platform as opposed to something else.

Date: 2012-10-04 11:18 pm (UTC)Do this:
< a href= " URL of your master post - you'll have to add it in when you have it ">< b > ( wjat you would have wanted to call your cut )< /b> < /a href>< font color="#092531" >< lj-cut text=" ">< /font>
Get rid of all the spaces that don't need to be there in the above, pick the font color that will make the cut blend into the background for you (i.e. the same color as your main page - you can find the numeric value in your layout page), and just have two spaces between the quotes in lj cut text command.

Date: 2012-10-04 12:08 pm (UTC)I use wordpress websites, but I've never thought of using it as a blog - it's a lot of fiddling around and coding to make it look good, and then it just isn't as easy to do average blogging things like switching posts to FO or using custom filters.

Date: 2012-10-04 12:13 pm (UTC)I also blog on WordPress - it's a fine platform. What it lacks that LJ has is the community of users and the easy aggregation of the friends-list for the same. All of the WP blogs that I follow I follow via a RSS reader - I can't scroll back through that with half the easy of LJ or DW reading!
