## Account Creation

A new user enters a username and a valid e-mail address. The system sends the user an e-mail with an auto-generated password and a link to activate the account. After the account is activated, the user can login.


## Changing Password and E-mail

After logging in, the user can click on his or her username and follow the link and form fields to change the password and e-mail.


## Editing the Profile Page

Users can personalize their profile page by adding links, plain text, or Textile markup to create HTML. The profile page data entry box supports template includes and the double-bracket wiki link feature.


## Hashtags

Microblog posts (notes) and blog posts (articles) are limited to a max of eight hashtags.

Hashtag format consists of meaningful category text preceded by the pound sign. 

Hashtags can be used to organize content.

Examples (with the pound signs excluded):

* nature - insects - butterflies
* sports - football - nfl - browns
* media - design - mobile - app


## Microblog Posts or Notes

These are short posts with a limit of 300 characters. They are entered in the small textarea box, located on the homepage.

Titles are not entered.

These cannot be edited.

No preview, just a post button.

The only formatting includes:

* Raw URLs are converted into clickable links.
* Hashtags converted into clickable search links.
* ``/1234/`` means linking to another microblog post that has ID number 1234.


## Blog Posts or Articles

These can be short or very long.

Posts can be entered in a medium-sized textarea box, or the enhanced 'editor' can be used, which
