A link to [Jekyll Now](http://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now/). A big ass literal link <http://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now/>
An image, located within /images
![an image alt text]({{ site.baseurl }}/images/jekyll-logo.png "an image title")
* A bulletted list
- alternative syntax 1
+ alternative syntax 2
- an indented list item
1. An
2. ordered
3. list
Inline markup styles:
- _italics_
- **bold**

> Blockquote
>> Nested Blockquote
Syntax highlighting can be used by wrapping your code in a liquid tag like so:
{{ "{% highlight javascript " }}%}
/* Some pointless Javascript */
var rawr = ["r", "a", "w", "r"];
{{ "{% endhighlight " }}%}
creates...
{% highlight javascript %}
/* Some pointless Javascript */
var rawr = ["r", "a", "w", "r"];
{% endhighlight %}
Use two trailing spaces
on the right
to create linebreak tags
Finally, horizontal lines

It looks like the syntax highlighting in the preview is broken. At least for me, it doesn't have any fancy rendering.
