You can find this article either directly in the list of user’s articles, or indirectly by clicking on a shortform comment’s permalink.
There is no empty shortform article listed on the page I get by clicking my name. I had assumed that people made these manually. If not, what is the procedure?
The article is created automatically, when you post your first shortform.
If you want to do so, click your name, click “New Shortform”, write the comment text, and click “Submit”. The comment will appear on the front page in the shortform section, and also as a top-level comment in the automatically created article.
When I click my name, I get a page on which the words “New Shortform” do not appear anywhere. “New Post”, yes, but no “New Shortform”. I tried turning on experimental features in my account settings, but it made no difference.
When you scroll the page to the top, on the upper right corner there is your name, and also the icons (magnifying wheel, star, bell). If you move your mouse over your name there—not click, just position the mouse over your name—a pull-down menu will appear. One of the items is “New Shortform”.

Sorry, wrong explanation.

I see it now, thanks.
