 * Love the theme, but I tried making posts using the various formats (Standard,
   Aside, Image, Video, Quote, Link) and they seem to make no difference in how 
   the post is displayed.
 * Is that the way it’s supposed to be? If so, is there another purpose beyond visual
   presentation for using these formats?

 * Hi there!
 * It doesn’t look like Argent is set up to style the different post formats differently–
   but they’re in place so that if you’d like, you could style them yourself.
 * You could do that either by adding CSS that targets the CSS class corresponding
   to that format – or by adding a template for it into a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   🙂
 * On some themes, the post formats are included for specific functionality, and
   on others, they’re more there for flexibility 🙂
