Welcome to my first blog post on github!

I will now test several different markdown styles

Two pounds

Three pounds

Four pounds

• Dashing creates a bulleted list
• like this and
• like this
  • and this should be an indented list item

1. Gives me an ordered list
2. second element in list
3. third

this will make this sentence in italics?
will bolden this sentence
designates that this sentence is acutally code
I suppose this will also be treated as code

This creates a blockquote

this nests another blockquote

#some python code to show triple '`' functionality
for element in aList:
  print element

Horizontal lines
