The editor for V2 has been significantly updated. This is good and meh. The good - Markdown still works by default. This is especially good as a lot of the stuff that got puked out of wordpress is a mess of Divs. I'll be bringing this site live before all of that is squared away but posts may be slow as I go back through the older content to clean up the text.
