Or at least sort of? This is from weekly post 【21】:

After pasting my template into dreamwidth, I wrote the entire post normally, adding my images and media using the embed functions in the in-site editor. Following that, I selected everything I wanted cut and pressed the cut button on the editor.
The result is the first image, which seems to cut everything up to and including the embedded YouTube video. After that, the rest of the post is shown.

YouTube's embed code, I lifted directly from the video itself. When pasted into the already cut section of my post, it would break the cut unless I placed my cursor around the gray sections next to the video and backspaced them out.

For some reason that worked. Weekly post 【21】 is cut properly now.

I wonder if I'm the only one who has this issue. Either way, I'll pay special attention to how I embed images and media in the future.

It would be a lot easier if dreamwidth had a better system for cutting posts, or better yet, did it automatically. When it falls apart or malfunctions, it does so inexplicably!
Though there is something charming about having to do it yourself.
