This is not an actual entry, but a reference sheet for me for when I want to use HTML in the comments, replies, or posts that I make, if the "Rich Text" option is not available or is being wonky. Putting it under a cut so you don't have to scroll through everything and then some. Feel free to use the comments to play with the HTML commands if you'd like.
DREAMWIDTH-SPECIFIC HTML
<user name=tuesday_morning>: Creates a link to your journal. To link to another user, substitute their name for yours.
<cut>: "Hides" text behind a link.
To link to another user on another site, use @username.sitename
