I can find no way to link to my home page (or provide any other information on who I am) from my visible user profile.

Seconded. Even a generic box people can look at where I can write

would be good

Also, in comments - single line-breaks being converted to <br /> or whatever would be cool. Or is there MarkDown for that? Is what's under "Help" all there is?

Most features of Markdown are supported, except inline HTML. According to the official spec line breaks are made as follows (which I tested and it works on Less Wrong)

When you do want to insert a <br /> break tag using Markdown, you end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.

Perhaps we should include a link to more extensive formatting info in the help table.

I've raised an issue to track this feature request.
