Trying To Get Jekyll To Render Markdown in my Posts

My files in my _posts folder end in .markdown (also tried .md) yet when they are processed they are displayed as html files and the markdown syntax is not processed.

I am sure I am doing something silly wrong but can't figure it out. I looked through example Jekyll blog and their markdown is rendering fine but I can't seem to see what my error is.

This SO post I tried but using {{ content }} rather than {{ page.content }} didn't seem to make a difference. My markdown in my post files still does not get converted and things like link or link just show up in the generated html.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your posts are not processed by jekyll build or jekyll serve, you may have forgotten to add a front matter like :

---
title:  "The title!"
date:   2015-09-14 23:50:46
