![]() ![]() In this case I hope it doesn’t matter too much that I skipped buzz-phase. As usual when it comes to linking to the latest and greatest I’m a bit late to the party. About The Video Tutorialīrett was kind enough to hook me up with a copy after he released his tutorial back in May. A hopefully bulletproof plan since there’s no text to read and an instructor who walks him through all the obstacles. If he does, he will learn everything that’s to know about Markdown. What I hope to achieve with this gift is that my dad feels obliged to watch it. Now Brett’s gone back to basics and created a video which explains every aspect of Markdown. Just check his blog and search for Markdown. In brief: it’s his thing and he’s damn good at it. It’s 56 min full of Markdown.īrett has built several Markdown utilities over the last decade.

He was used to click plugins and expect everything to work and be customizable.Īfter this forth and back I suggested using Markdown for the tenth time and set up a WordPress installation for him.
