Okay, so I'd been looking at the markdown page ( here ) trying to figure out how to make it work well. I knew how to do it for just the name before they updated it (which still works btw) but was stuck on how to make it work now so that i could include icon or just do icon etc.

After lots of experimenting in a comment space, I figured it out, just replace the "weasyl-username" with what it says for the person you want. Like if it was me, you'd replace "weasyl-username" with "anuacyl"... quite simple once I grasped onto that content... but I'd been glancing at it for a few days trying to piece it together and today i sat down determined to do it and by dumb-luck figured it out!
(I imagine the markdown for like da/fa/ib/sf is the same, just replace the "(site)-username" and leave the "da:/fa:/ib:/sf:" but I don't have an account for any of those so I can't test that theory out using an actual UN.)

I realize i'm probably more excited about this discovery than what would be normal, but damn-it you've got to take you're victories where you can! y'know? I also realize most of you that'll see this already have this trick figured out for themselves as well. however in the off-chance that there's one that doesn't, I couldn't not explain how it works.

Also on a random note my shift key is a bit iffy.. I know i can technically use the right shift key, but I've been touch-typing like this for about 10 years, not an easy change to make lol. I mention this cause I'm sure there's a lot that should be shifted that isn't, but that's probably cause the key didn't register when I typed the word and I type too fast to notice it right away... and I'm not one to look back over what I type.
