I'm seeing this as well. Also, the headings that appear to be intended as cuts have links to your reading page (which I'm sure isn't what you intended) and trascendenza's post. If you copied a lot of that post from your reading page into the RTE, that could be where the extraneous code comes from (the RTE is, apparently, legacy code of unusual opacity). Do you mind if I look at the page source and see if I can debug it? (View Page Source is a Firefox function which just shows the HTML for the rendered page, not what you see in the editor.)

It's not what I intended, you're absolutely right, and I would be more than grateful if you would debug whatever it is I messed up! That's super kind of you to offer. <3

Debugging attempt

OK wow, I'm seeing a lot of code I don't understand here, much of which is added by Dreamwidth and meant to be there, tangled up with the bits we don't want. Can you edit the post and open it in the HTML editor? Then - I think starting with the last cut tag is best because experimenting with that won't affect anything above it - find "Basic information about me". This occurs twice, once for the cut-tag and once for the heading underneath it. The code surrounding the first one looks like this on the rendered page (I'm hoping there's a lot less in the editable version!):
<span class="cuttag_container" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: justify;"><span class="cuttag" style="display: inline;"><a href="https://bossymarmalade.dreamwidth.org/read?skip=40#" class="cuttag-action cuttag-action-before" style="color: rgb(3, 150, 166); text-decoration-line: none;"><img aria-controls="div-cuttag_trascendenza_95370_6" src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/expand.svg" alt="Collapse" title="Collapse" style="max-width: 100%; width: 1em; padding: 0.2em;" /></a></span><b style="color: rgb(121, 166, 23);">( <a href="https://trascendenza.dreamwidth.org/95370.html?style=mine#cutid6" style="color: rgb(3, 150, 166); text-decoration-line: none;">Basic information about me</a> )</b>

What this should look like (in the HTML editor, I don't know about the RTE) is more like:
<cut text="Basic information about me"> with a "</cut>" at the end of the section.

After that there several places where it says
<u style="color: rgb(121, 166, 23);">your heading text here</u>
and if you replace those by
<h5>your heading text here</h5>
(experiment with the number, h4 or h6 might be better), that should get rid of the hard-coded text colours, which I guess are from trascendenza's layout.

Phew! That's a lot! I think the rest of it is just multiple copies of the same problems with the same solutions, but let's not try to do everything at once. (I had to preview this comment about four times to get it to show the code without treating it as code. raw-code didn't work, so I'm using textarea.)

WOW that really was messy!

I dredged up what HTML knowledge I used to have and did a bunch of trimming and fixing and hopefully it's a little more streamlined now? Or at least not messing with other people's reading pages. :/

Thanks, that looks great!
