URLs are not clickable and adding HTML anchor tags doesn't work.

Django makes this easy in theory using the urlize filter. However, just sticking
urlize in the template won't work, since as soon as you edit the description you'll
see the HTML for the link. Furthermore, saving it will un-urlize it until the page is
reloaded. We may want to do this on the JavaScript end for post-save, urlize on
initial load, and strip tags from the description. Or we could only show it to
non-authors.
