This is interesting. I came upon this today, and it made me think about the potential that rants have. If – in the spectrum of short-form, semi-persuasive, personal writing – 5 is a well reasoned essay by Richard Dawkins, and 1 is an obscenity-laden, unorganized tirade by Maddox, then my writing on this site generally falls around a 2, 2.5. Something like this, however:

Ikeaphobia and its discontents

Rates somewhere just above a 4. It's personal. Passionate (even angry). Entertaining. But also well reasoned and nicely organized. I don't know, I guess it's just an area I'd like to explore more.

Formatting is easy – just think how you might do it in e-mail:

Styled text	**bold** or *italic*	bold or italic
Quoted text	> Trump is so dumb.	Trump is so dumb.
Hyperlink	Go to <https://abc.com>	Go to https://abc.com
Film/TV Titles	(m: Titanic) or (t: Frasier)	Titanic or Frasier

Or you can get really fancy: read the Markdown guide for more tricks.
