a coding question re user names
Okay, so I'm using the crosspost feature here to post to my LJ simultaneously when I make a DW post in my DW journal. All copacetic.
And I know how to code the names of DW users on DW, so that that shows up as a link to their profile page, and furthermore, now I know how to code so as to make the LJ account user names show up as links in the traditional LJ manner on both the DW side and the LJ side.
My question is:
*drumroll*
How do I code the DW user names so that ON THE LIVEJOURNAL SIDE (through the crossposter), they will show up with the cute new little gray DW user symbol and become a live link there?
Maybe those instructions exist, but I have not found them. Thank you in advance for your help.

i am actually the worst person to ask because i know so little html. I only learn the absolute least amount of stuff i need to accomplish my goal. I have not experimented at all!
but you make me want to.
I use the quotes in the a href= thingy command when doing a link, if that's what you mean. but see, that's the only real html thing I know how to do and i've never experimented with it.
the only coding I know is the LJ related stuff; very simple stuff like cut tags and user names.
