something to filter. This one is filed under Prayer; the other under Culture.</p>

<p>Click the category buttons at the top of the Opinions page to see it work.
Categories are set from a dropdown in the editor, so the list stays consistent
instead of drifting into <em>prayer</em>, <em>Prayer</em>, and <em>praying</em>.</p>

be. Delete it any time.</p>

<h2 id="headings-work">Headings work</h2>

<p>Type a heading, and it renders like the one above. Below it, ordinary
paragraphs. <strong>Bold</strong> and <em>italic</em> work the way you’d expect, and so do
<a href="/about/">links</a>.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Block quotes are useful for Scripture or for quoting someone you’re
responding to.</p>
</blockquote>

<ul>
  <li>Bulleted lists</li>
  <li>for laying out points</li>
  <li>one after another</li>
</ul>

<p>That is the whole format. Write, choose a category, click Publish.</p>]]></content><author><name></name></author><category term="Culture" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[An example post showing how an opinion piece looks once published.]]></summary></entry></feed>
