There’s just a few things you’ll need to know about before starting:

• Markdown is how you’ll write. It’s simple rules and characters (syntax) that you’ll use to turn writing into actually blog posts.

• Dropbox is where your blogs will be stored. Create an account at Dropbox.com or through the Dropbox app.

• Blot is a blogging platform that turns a Dropbox folder into a website. Because of Blot, any text file or image added to Dropbox automatically becomes a blog post.

• Hover is what allows you to have a custom name, like nashp.com.
