Hello world!
This is my first blog post.
I am writing in Markdown.
Markdown is a language that’s basically just plain text with some useful shortcuts to make it easy for computers to process in an aesthetic way.
“Markdown” Madness Examples
What are Markdown files?
They’re files that end in .md. That’s the magic file ending, and the computer can take it from there to format the text.
Headers
Did you see Headers is specially styled just above? That’s part of the magic of Markdown. I only wrote this:
#### Headers
But Github’s Markdown engine™ can convert that line into a styled Header.
The number of hashtags before the text determines how big the header will be on the page.
My Hello world header/title at the top has two hashtags before it in my Markdown file (ie ## Hello world!).
I still don’t get it …
That’s okay. Maybe check out these resources:
And, here’s what my Markdown looks like, and you can flip back=and-forth between that text and what you see on your screen for more context.

But _Github's Markdown engine™_ can convert that line into a styled Header.

That's okay. Maybe check out these resources:
- [a little technical and long but definitely informative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown)
- [a six minute video on Markdown](https://youtu.be/qhoXn4bIE1s)
And, here's what my Markdown looks like, and you can flip back and forth between that text and what you see on your screen for more context.

That’s all for now on Markdown. Now, let’s get into the mathemagic! 🔮
