It depends on whether you use the Rich Text Editor or HTML tab when posting. This FAQ entry (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75) has instructions for both.
I find it much easier to use the HTML editor and put links in manually; I gather that the Rich Text Editor lj-cut feature may sometimes not work too well.
(Actually, I prefer to use a program called Semagic (http://semagic.sourceforge.net/index.html) for posting, which has many lovely buttons for those sorts of things. It's for Windows, though; if you use something else, I don't know if there are any similar programs available.)
