Learning Markdown Today

Today I decided to finally learn markdown. Not sure yet If I really understand all the conversion options. Just care about the fast html. Here is a list of reasons why I am learning Markdown.

• First, I understand that my blog host Squarespace supports it.
• Second, Merlin Mann and other GTD wizards keep going on and on about how great it is.
• Third, If it can help me type faster html than it may be worth it.

Not super compelling reasons but hopefully you can comment and let me know how you use markdown.
