Markdown Overview The purpose of this post is to go over some of the basic logic that I am using when I blog with Markdown. Some things will be explained, but I will try to keep it short and leave the details for other posts.
General Formatting There is a few flavors to use and with each flavor there is usually some room for variance. Such as using ** or __ (two astericks or two underscores) to say that the word is bold.
What is Front-Matter? Tommy, Jason, and Yaml - Front-Matter Languages? Ok, its not really “Tommy” and “Jason”.
Atom Packages Everyone is going to have a different style of how they want to do things. This is my style and let me try to justify it.

Writing with Markdown and Atom - Images This pertains to general writing, blogging, and documentation and other such things. I am nostly focusing on documentation and blogging, which overflows into general writing. In Atom.io there are many markdown plugins and I have been going through them to see which ones I like the best and which ones I don’t like and which ones I find useful and what I don’t. You can find more reviews, ideas, suggestions, tips, tricks and ramblings about this in this in this category here.

Why Learn Markdown? That is a great question.
Consider this a “Part 1” to a mulit-part blog, as there is several answers and questions I want to address.
I started to commit myself to learning Markdown in general and using it. Mostly, I wanted to learn it for note taking. I know everyone has their own methods and their own thing regarding notes. My reason is mostly because of personal habits, so let me digress here for a moment.
