It would be nice if we can follow someone directly from the recommended hubs section from within our profile. As it stands right now, we have to click on the "recommended hub" then choose click on follow. Perhaps a "follow" option right next to the recommended hub.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

Ok. That's been implemented.

I actually want to do some work on the profile. It could stand to be prettier and more useful. This is a good start. In fact, there's not really reason why you shouldn't be able to follow or unfollow any user or tag from your profile.

vid's toggle for previews is going to take a bit more time.
