Blogging in Markdown, Fully Backed Up! ⇒

Re: http://thedalzells.org/2012/11/making-my-data-movable/ When we last saw our intrepid explorer, he was looking for blogging nirvana…writing in Markdown and every post backed up automatically. We are happy to report that after much hair pulling and cursing, he has achieved his lofty goals! Every post is created in Markdown in MarsEdit. He had to install a Wordpress Markdown plugin and then write his own plugin to copy each post into his Dropbox folder, but he got the job down. He next step is to convert all his existing posts into Markdown with the same template. This will make it much easier to move between blogging platforms as the files will be in a consistent, parseable format.
