There are a couple of ‘expert’ preferences that I expect will make life 
better for you.

> - Settings to make BBEdit a simple markdown editor (I want Markdown to be
> the primary document type).

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DefaultLanguageNameForNewDocuments 
-string "Markdown"

> - How to save my post as a .md file.

You can add the extension as you like, but to make it the default for 
Markdown files:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit PreferredFilenameExtension\_Markdown 
-string "md"


> - 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).

You could probably come up with a script that would do this, but if you use 
Default Folder, it could take care of it I believe.

> - Anything I may be missing to make my writing experience distraction free
> and painless.

You can customise the display and editor on a per-language basis in the 
Languages preferences pane. For example, I have soft wrapping to window and 
typographer’s quotes turned on for Markdown, but not in editor defaults. 
Because I don’t use curled quotes at work, and I want to end files with a 
newline, I use an EditorConfig profile to change those settings on a 
per-directory basis.

You can also customise the display and turn off any irrelevant or 
‘distracting’ parts of the navigation and text status bars.
