Livejournal user guide?

[jeriendhal]

Is there anywhere on the bloody Net where I can find a guide to writing livejournal entries? Specifically, imbedding links.

Er, what sorts of links do you want to embed? I can probably give you some pointers.

Yes. There are the Livejournal support pages: http://www.livejournal.com/support/
if this link does not work, check my livejournal, it has livejournal support defined in the links in the right column.

If you want to embed links in LJ ENTRIES, nowhere else on LJ (it involves, I think, a style sheet to get it on, say, your sidebars or whatever), it's done exactly the same way as normal HTML. Just going by the assumption you don't know normal HTML, even though you probably do:

<a href="http://linkurl aka that thing at the top of the browser window">Writing you want to appear underlined in blue at the top of the screen</a>

Actually, I've never really had any training in HTML. The last computer programming class I ever took was a BASIC course in college (yeah, I'm that old.) :)

Thanks Haru, and everyone else, for the advice and links. I think I've got enough to make my entries a little more professional looking.

Are you using an lj client? They make it easier to do things like links by providing handy-dandy buttons and shortcuts. I use Semagic, myself. You can browse the FAQ about clients, or download a client for yourself.
