This is a sample blog post, written with Markdown style.

For instance, if you'd like to *italicize* something, put `*asterisks around it*`. Want to make something **bold**? `**Use double asterisks.**`.

You can create lists, too.

- Milk
- Eggs
- Bread

Or numbered lists:

1. Make Bloggen
2. *???*
3. **Profit!**

Need to quote something? You can insert a block quote by using a right-pointing bracket.

> Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves,  
> As souls only understand souls.
> 
> — Walt Whitman, *Perfections*

Sometimes, you'll need to insert an image. Those look like `![](image.jpg)`—just throw them into your Posts directory.
