By combing these two you can save Mardown documents using just a URL.  The reason is that the markdown editor can save the contents in the query string.

### The Hack

As before we are going to create a url shortener.  This time we will past in the following long URL.

Save the shortened file, to a file name of your choosing, an example would be `u/markdown_doc.html`
