I am looking to use BBEdit as a writing tool for my work.

Here is my setup:

I use blot.im as my blogging platform of choice. It works with markdown for 
the most part (it supports HTML but I prefer Markdown). Basically I create 
a file, put it in a specific folder in my Dropbox and it is then sent to 
Blot's servers and creates a post. It is actually a really neat system for 
anyone wanting a lightweight and simple blogging tool. 

It uses a meta-tag system at the top of the document as follows:

Date: YYYY-MM-DD
Title: Title of Post

After that the Markdown post follows. I use TextExpander as a means to add 
this so I have that covered. 

My needs are as follows:

- Settings to make BBEdit a simple markdown editor (I want Markdown to be 
the primary document type). 
- How to setup BBEdit to open within a folder I use to save my posts (It is 
in my Dropbox but for all intents and purposes it is just a folder in 
Finder).
- How to save my post as a .md file.
- Anything I may be missing to make my writing experience distraction free 
and painless. 


Thank you in advance for the input!
