Improve Your Blogging Experience by Using Markdown in WordPress Nowadays, blogging is one of those things that are enormously trending in the market. If you notice carefully, you would see many bloggers are expanding almost at each corner of the street! Several businesses including Android and iOS mobile app development companies, advertising companies etc. require a blogging platform in order to promote their products and mobile apps. However, becoming successful in this blogging sector is a different story! Individuals, who are keen to write, create a website of their own on WordPress, as it is one of the most commonly used platforms for blogs and help you to become a professional blogger. WordPress makes it easy and intuitive enough for you to write your content directly into the visual editor while styling your text, but it is definitely not necessarily a quick process. Many bloggers across the world spend almost as much time formatting their blog posts as they do writing them. Yes, it’s true that blogging is a onetime investment. If done well it’s a rewarding investment. However, you should not spend more time than you need to. Today, I am going to show you exactly how to format your blog posts the right way. Before I start, let me ask you that if you are a WordPress user, then you must have come across the term Markdown? If not, then here I am going to talk about Markdown, and how bloggers can start using it with WordPress! Introduction to Markdown Markdown is a lightweight and intuitive markup language that provides a faster way to style your posts, pages and comments. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Although it takes a slight time getting used to, but you will never have to reach for your mouse while using Markdown. Here are some key reasons you must know to write in Markdown: ✓ Easy to write: As mentioned earlier, Markdown allows writing plain text. This, as a result, makes it quite easy to write in Markdown. ✓ Formatting is easy: When you format something in a word processor and then try to place it in a web app, your formatting often gets bust. But, the same you write in Markdown the formatting stays intact.
