No problem with markdown.

As for the follow-up links I checked again and these are normal links. I'm somewhat surprised that they are used that consistently.

Can you also provide a tip on tags?

I didn't answer about tags because I don't know of a guide.

I just found that if you search on tag [word that you think might be a good tag], you'll get lw articles with that tag, but that would be a process of exploration rather than knowing about common tags.

Then I assume that tags are used by intuition. I just invented a tag and will use it consistently.

I found that it is possible to list all posts with a tag via a short URL, e.g. on parenting it is

http://lesswrong.com/tag/parenting/

But this doesn't show my postings with that tag. Can it be that only posts in Main are found by that? If so is there a different shortcut that will (also) lists hits in Comments?

discussion/parenting. Also, I think tagged articles are sorted by old first, opposite to most things.
