_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Excellent, thanks for the heads-up. He was one of my favorite bloggers, back in the day, before he left the scene. Good to have him back!

Thanks for the welcome back. This was always one of my favorite sites/communities.
Thanks in particular for the kind words, hopefully I'll live up to them when I shake off the rust (does rust get shaken off? I'll prolly need to scrape it off, Jim!)
