Using Markdown to create blog entries in Blogger.com / Blogspot
Tools of the trade
a. A simple markdown editor (offline / online). My choice is the fabulous Sublime Text 2/3 editor along with the Markdown Preview plugin)
b. Enable blog by mail settings & configure a mail id in your blogger.com blog Blog @ Speed of Thought
c. GMail (or any other Mail Client which support HTML mails)
Steps to Create the Post
Create your blog content as a .md file, using the markdown editor
-
Preview the .md file via a Markdown Preview Tool (Which Converts the markdown to HTML) or the browser
Copy (Ctrl + A & Ctrl + C) from the browser preview
Compose a new mail in GMail addressed to configured.email@blogger.com
Paste the content (Ctrl + V)
Send Mail
Bingo!! You should now have a html formatted blog entry.
Enjoy!
