I thought it was a nifty little addition to our blog codebase! Secondly I've added support for Markdown via php-markdown. This, oddly enough was the easier of the two to get working. Somehow I got stuck on how to call the Javascript for emojify.js. I've gotten relatively accustomed to working with Markdown from using Octopress so much. Before I implemented Markdown I was using the PHP function nl2br, which wasn't working so hot with unordered lists. It was inserting a <br /> tag every every <li> element which was causing something that looked like double spacing between each list item. It didn't look good. So after implementing Markdown lists looks a lot more normal.
It's definitely been a lot of fun coding this site and my girlfriends by hand. It gives us complete control over everything and we can customize it to our   's content!
