 * Hi all,
 * Is there some sort of plugin that would allow me to have a different sort of 
   blog post than the normal type?
 * For example, something that will allow me to create a news form that inputs this
   sort of code:
 *     ```
       An international collaborative effort has recently uncovered the genome of the zebra finch, a songbird model that has provided unique insights into an array of biological phenomena.

       <blockquote>A whole bunch of words but less than a full paragraph from the original news source, preferable the first paragraph under the headline<a href="http://LOCATION OF ARTICLE"> More...</a></blockquote>

       ```
   
 * I realize it would be easy enough to copy/paste such code into a regular post,
   but I also want it to be handled a bit differently than a regular blog post, 
   for example if someone searches the blog categories, anything in the ‘news’ will
   not show up…and if they search news, blog posts won’t show up.
 * Hope that’s not all clear as mud…
