+
+There is a significant amount of subtle, yet precisely calibrated, styling to ensure that your content is emphasized while still looking aesthetically pleasing.
+
+All links are easy to
+[locate and discern]({{ site.baseurl | uri_escape }}),
+yet don't detract from the
+[harmony of a paragraph]({{ site.baseurl | uri_escape }}).
+The _same_ goes for italics and __bold__ elements.
+Even the the strikeout works if <del>for some reason you need to update your post</del>.
+For consistency's sake, <ins>The same goes for insertions</ins>, of course.
+
+### Code, with syntax highlighting
+
+Here's an example of some ruby code with line anchors.
+
+{% highlight ruby lineanchors %}
+    # The most awesome of classes
+    class Awesome < ActiveRecord::Base
+        include EvenMoreAwesome
+
+        validates_presence_of :something
+        validates :email, email_format: true
+
+        def initialize(email, name = nil)
+            self.email = email
+            self.name = name
+            self.favorite_number = 12
+            puts 'created awesomeness'
+        end
+
+        def email_format
+            email =~ /\S+@\S+\.\S+/
+        end
+    end
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Here's some CSS:
+
+{% highlight css %}
+    .foobar {
+        /* Named colors rule */
+        color: tomato;
+    }
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Here's some JavaScript:
+
+{% highlight js %}
+    var isPresent = require('is-present')
+
+    module.exports = function doStuff(things) {
+        if (isPresent(things)) {
+            doOtherStuff(things)
+        }
+    }
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Here's some HTML:
+
+{% highlight html %}
+    <div class="m0 p0 bg-blue white">
+        <h3 class="h1">Hello, world!</h3>
+    </div>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+# Headings!
+
+They're responsive, and well-proportioned (in `padding`, `line-height`, `margin`, and `font-size`).
+They also heavily rely on the awesome utility, [BASSCSS](http://www.basscss.com/).
+
+##### They draw the perfect amount of attention
+
+This allows your content to have the proper informational and contextual hierarchy.
+Yay.
+
+### There are lists, too
+
+* Apples
+* Oranges
+* Potatoes
+* Milk
+
+1. Mow the lawn
+2. Feed the dog
+3. Dance
+
+### Images look great, too

+
+### There are also pretty colors
+
+Also the result of
+[BASSCSS](http://www.basscss.com/),
+you can
+<span class="bg-dark-gray white">highlight</span>
+certain components of a
+<span class="red">post</span>
+<span class="mid-gray">with</span>
+<span class="green">CSS</span>
+<span class="orange">classes</span>.
+
+I don't recommend using blue, though. It looks like a
+<span class="blue">link</span>.
+
+### Footnotes!
+
+Markdown footnotes are supported, and they look great!
+Simply put e.g. `[^1]` where you want the footnote to appear,[^1] and then add the reference at the end of your markdown.
+
+### Stylish blockquotes included
+
+You can use the markdown quote syntax, `>` for simple quotes.
+
+> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
+Suspendisse quis porta mauris.
+
+However, you need to inject html if you'd like a citation footer.
+I will be working on a way to hopefully sidestep this inconvenience.
+
+<blockquote>
+    <p>Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.</p>
+    <footer><cite title="Antoine de Saint-Exupéry">Antoine de Saint-Exupéry</cite></footer>
+</blockquote>
+
+### There's more being added all the time
+
+Checkout the
+[Github repository](https://github.com/johnotander/pixyll)
+to request, or add, features.
+
+Happy writing.
