Hi! I've been playing with the blogging bundle earlier on, got it working with Wordpress. But the Wordpress installation lacked a Markdown plugin, so it wasn't all that smooth.
Anyway, I'm currently working on a Joomla installation. GetBundles didn't reveal anything, but Google showed traces of an alpha version or something.
Anything usable out there now? Anything any of you guys use/recommend? :)

I suppose that would work well, :) but on that site, I'm not an admin, and they have a policy against adding markdown, as it created to much load or something ...
But now I'm working on a new Joomla setup (where I am admin). :)

If that's the case, then they probably would accept raw HTML, since there aren't many other options in Joom-land. You could author in Markdown, then use the Multi-markdown bundle to copy rendered HTML from your source doc and paste that into Joomla!.
But now I'm working on a new Joomla setup (where I am admin). :)
If you want to get rid of the "load", see about shadowing your content column with a rendered content column. That way you can store the Markdown in the content column, and cache the rendered HTML for repeat views. I haven't worked in Joomla! since version 1.5, so I may not know what I'm talking about here, but in many of the Rails-based markdown helpers, this is very much the done thing. You could also just rely on the normal Joomla! caching to take care of this for you. That's what I do on the one remaining Joomla! 1.5 site I manage.
