  I was told that I needed to get the Markdown plugin at WordPress. I write in markdown using Byword and the use Marsedit to post. The fellow I was working with said to make sure I have the markdown plugin installed at WordPress

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org. You can find out more about this topic here: http://support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  However, I believe that Marsedit has an option to convert Markdown to HTML (or at least it used to). I recommend checking with them.

  For more information on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please see: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Yes, you’re right. I got it all figured out and no I don’t need a plugin. Sorry, the developer said I should have the plugin. However, when I left your site and went back to him he said if you do such and such that should work and it did.

  Thanks for the reply.
