And now for some more cool formatting tricks!

How about a quote?

> I can ride my bike with no handlebars.
<small>Flobots</small>

I can ride my bike with no handlebars. Flobots

Or a numbered list?

1. Uno
2. Dos 
3. Tres
4. Cuatro
5. Cinco
6. Seis.
7. Siete.
8. Ocho! (I just shouted it in my head)
9. Nueve
10. Diez
  1. Uno
  2. Dos
  3. Tres
  4. Cuatro
  5. Cinco
  6. Seis.
  7. Siete.
  8. Ocho! (I just shouted it in my head)
  9. Nueve
  10. Diez

Those of you with an attention to detail will notice the width of the number 10 didn't throw off the formatting (yeah, it's getting converted to an HTML ordered list)

Let's see... what else...

How about... a named link?

[I love the Oatmeal](http://theoatmeal.com)

How about... something you want to put asterisks around, but don't want it converted into italics (in other words, don't convert to Markdown):

\*cheese\*

And here's the secret code to make my arm come out of the screen and give you a high five:

[high-five-from-the-prose-jesus]

....

OK, just kidding on that one. But wouldn't it be awesome???

Oh yeah, and if you want to show your own code in a box like I do multiple times in this entry, just put four spaces at the beginning of the line. :)

UPDATE:

I fixed my named link in the entry so it was no longer a Youtube link... now that they automatically embed, it didn't make sense in the entry context.
