None of these are earth shattering, but I would recommend that anyone who writes Markdown take a look at them.

This excellent guide to *TextExpander* has been heavily linked to recently. Take a few minutes to dig into all the information available in this post, and you’ll see why.
A great tip from David Sparks about a TextExpander trick that I have been using for years.
I have [previously mentioned that I am not a fan of watermarks](http://www.mattk.com/2013/07/08/saving-your-photos-from-ugly-watermarks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=saving-your-photos-from-ugly-watermarks
) on photos[^fn1], but this alternative that Tamara Lackey uses is not that bad.

David Sparks has released a new MacSpark Field Guide: [Markdown](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fbook%252Fmarkdown%252Fid622433972%253Fmt%253D11%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f2953]. Based on previous books Mr. Sparks has written, and his knowledge of Markdown, I have really high hopes for this. Actually, I am pretty sure I am going to point to it as the definitive guide on how to use Markdown.

Dave Caolo just posted a tremendous workflow that helps gets RSS items into WordPress by using [IFTTT](http://ifttt.com). It takes about 5 minutes to implement[^fn1] and should really help queue up articles that you want to post to your blog. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this.
[^fn1]: 5 minutes, assuming you already have an IFTTT account. Signing up for a new account might make things take a little longer.
