Tweak says, "death doesn't sell tickets"

Entry tags:

question: html/css, tools: html, tools: lj-cuts

I have a question about how to do the parentheses-less cut-tags. For example, the entry would look like this on the friends page, but when you click the link it takes you to the entry itself, like so, so that the "cut tag's" text is part of the entry. Anyone know/have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

	Someone has done this I just can't think who, I thought it was sherlock but apparently not but the coding is: <center><b><font face="georgia" size="+2"><i>text<a href="entryurl">text</a></i></font></b></span><span style="display:none;"><lj-cut></span> Obviously changing the georgia/size as you need! Wish I could remember where I got it from. But hope that helps! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sorry to be a bother, but I actually have another question. It didn't work when I tested it just now, and I think I might be doing it wrong. I'm assuming that where it says "text" between the link tags is where I put my "cut tag" text, is that correct? Then where should I put the text I want in the entry that's inside the "cut-tag"? Thanks so much! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I should have done better instructions! Sorry about that. The first 'text' is what you want to come before the link the 'text' between the and is the text you want the link to be and then you can have more text after the </a> if you want! Then the content of the entry after the cut tag.

I imagine you may have this all from

zombiephile's comment but I thought I'd comment so I don't seem rude! Hope you've worked it out :D

	You left out an opening span tag there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Actually I meant to remove that span completely but forgot to remove the closing one. It was a doubled up georgia/size formatting for some reason. Thanks though! (Reply to this) (Parent)
