I'm sorry you've got the grumpies and aches today. I hope they pass soon! But hey, if I, the fic-challenged, can post fanfic (okay, tiny fanfic, but it counts!), certainly you can do it. ;)
The thing you're trying to do goes like this (no spaces between steps): 1. Type a less-than sign 2. Type the words "lj user" (without the quotation marks and with the space between words) 3. Type an equals sign 4. Type an open quote 5. Type the user name of the person you want to link to 6. Type a close quote 7. Type a greater-than sign
That should do it. Good luck! I'd just write it out for you (as indigo_inferno tried to show you), but LJ will interpret it in an unhelpful manner.
