I am feeling dumb today

I understand how to do a cut, but how do I have it go straight to another web page? I want the person who clicks on the cut to go directly to a certain page, obviously inserting the url in the cut just makes them click twice, once on the cut and next on the url.

It is so confusing.

LJ cuts and hyperlinks are different things. I'm assuming you mean you want to know how to do a hyperlink, right?

The easy way is to just type out the link URL. LiveJournal will automatically convert it into a link in your entry. It will read just as a URL, like this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/chelelev

Now, if you want the hyperlink to SAY something different, then you'll use these HTML tags:

< a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/chelelev" > Chele's Journal < /a >

except that you'd omit every single space in the above WITH EXCEPTION to the one between 'a' and 'href'

and it would look like this:

Chele's Journal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chelelev)

Easy enough, right? :-)

Thank you. I will have to copy this off and save it somewhere. Or at minimum throw it in memories so I can refer to it often.
