# Posting with Markdown

#### This is my first attempt at posting and updating posts with Markdown.

I’m currently making this attempt on my iPad Pro with a wonderful app called [mWeb](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mweb-powerful-markdown-app/id1183407767).

Watch as this post grows throughout the day as I try more Markdown kinds of things. Here are the resources that I’m using to learn Markdown and get all of the syntax right, which is something I have wanted to do for years!

- [Awesome Markdown](https://github.com/mundimark/awesome-markdown)
- [Markdown Guide](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/)
- [Common Mark Tutorials](https://commonmark.org/help/tutorial/)

The part that I like most about this setup is my ability to continue to edit the post and have it synced across all of my devices as a plain text file. There is no need for logging into WordPress or to mess around with the WYSIWYG editor.

In order for this to work as an ongoing workflow, however, I need the following things to occur:

-  I must learn all of the syntax for robust markdown editing
-  I must keep an organized folder of my writing
-  I must continually come back to this process to ensure it works with new hardware and software (I can’t wait to see what new functionality will come with [iPadOS 13](https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-preview/).)
-  I must not rely upon merely the plain text, but rather think about how I can expand to embeds and other types of robust elements within my writing.
