I'm looking at this profile page:
There don't seem to be clear instructions on how to get the "div" with bullet points and links in the formatting he has. Is this a feature for only veteran users? Or am I just missing something?
Update: Specifically, I'm looking at how that section of "about me" is a different color, and how he can get the lines with and without bullet points to align with each other.
The div is on your profile edit page in the "about me" section.
Click on your username, then the "edit" link (kinda top-right).
You can use markup in that div with this little icons just above the text-field. Thus you can obtain your own bullet points and links...
Update: inspecting the source-code of his about-me section we have:
The coloured section is a blockquote. Inside of the blockquote is a list, and the markup for each list item is:
<li>
Text
<br><a href="...">Link</a>
</li>
Have a go at that and see if it gives you the results you need.
The "About Me" section accepts Markdown as any post. The different background color is simply what a Markdown quote uses.
- This is a list made of three items
- This is the second one
This is the second line of the second item- This is the last one
This is what I wrote to get the previous output.

They're just using a quote block.
This would be the normal colour.
