LJ and Internet advice

Making an LJ-cut is pretty simple, and one of the things you really need to know when participating in LJ communities like this one. The simplest way to do it is to just put <lj-cut> at the point in your post where you'd like the cut to be. Whatever's above the cut will show up on people's friends pages when they read, and there will be a "Read More.." link for them to see the rest.

You can also change "Read More..." to say something else, whatever you want it to say, by doing <lj-cut text="whatever you want..."> instead of just <lj-cut>. (You can also have multiple cuts in one post, but you can read about how to do that later if you want, it's not necessary to know here).

Also, if you want to be an effective promoter online, I highly recommend learning to write for the web, which is very very different from writing for print. In particular, you should know that for the most part, people don't read on the web until they know they want to read - mostly, they skim, and only pick a few things to spend more time on and actually read. If you present people with a large block of text, it's hard to skim, and it's hard for them to extract at a glance the information that will tell them whether this posting is something they want to spend time reading; as a result, you will turn away most people who might've been interested. They'll glance, not know whether they want to read it, and quickly move on to something else.

As a community moderator, I'm going to ask that you put an LJ-cut in this post (probably right after the list of three upcoming concert dates, right before "for more information ...").

As someone who wants to see you succeed, I'd also recommend rewriting this post so it is better suited to a web rather than print audience, though that would take more time.
