Fiddling around with Dreamwidth features is still underway, but I'm learning stuff! Now that I'm more familiar with the interface, I really like it. For one thing, it keeps rewarding me for experimental settings-manipulation in the way all the best websites do. 
As of this evening, the links in my profile work! And there's a GIF at the top of this post, which demonstrates my awe-inspiring ability to embed media! (Thank you AO3 and Purimgifts specifically for significantly truncating that learning curve) Next I'll see if I can make a cut happen.

Okay, this is kind of perplexing me. Maybe it'll work when I post it and maybe I'll dig through tutorials tomorrow.
Also tomorrow, I want to try to give my journal a header that'll go with the purple theme it's got going on.
I peer-pressured zanzquest into making an account, though it's still unclear whether I'll be able to convince her to do Battleship with me. And I've got around 50% of a fill for Summer of the 69, which, if I hurry, could be the year's first fill!

Oh, does this text show up below the cut? Confusion rescinded. This slaps, actually.

And I see you also used headings, which is quite nice!

For the cut text, I have to mention two limitations:

1. Straight quotes don't work well, so you can type '"' to get them instead.

2. There's a known bug where entering certain characters with diacritics via the RTE leads to them being corrupted. You can fix that by re-entering the character in the HTML view.

But aside from that, it does seem like you can enter literally anything! I've also checked, and the cut text can be 299981 characters at longest, so space is hardly at a premium there.

Yeah, for quotes I usually just switch to Brit conventions and use single quotes instead for cut text (and alt text, for similar reason). It usually works all right! The diacritics thing, thankfully, isn't one I've needed to do yet.

My own tendency is to use curly quotes, or to use the workaround (because I found it myself, and I want to show off). For diacritics... I've run into that once, and it gave me quite some trouble, but I'm quite happy I now know how to fix it (not that I'll encounter it often, since I write in English)!

Yeah, I work from desktop, so inputting curly quotes in a web browser is really difficult and annoying!
