No the blogging bundle does not do any conversion, and nor should it.  
The whole point is that you want the posts to be stored in the  
database in the format you would like to edit them later in, namely  
Markdown, or Textile. If the bundle converted to HTML before sending  
across, then if you later wanted to edit the post you would be stuck  
with editing the HTML.

It is then a question of setting up your blog to use an appropriate  
plugin (or perhaps just to switch some setting somewhere). The  
particulars depend on the blogging system used, but I would bet  
searching the corresponding online help files should lead to a simple  
solution.
