 * Hi Colin,
 * The markdown parameter has to be marked “yes” not “true”, however true makes 
   a lot of sense so I’ll add that in a future update. I have the embed working 
   with the following:
 * [embedGitHubContent owner=”twuonline” repo=”orientation” path=”/digital-literacy.
   md” markdown=”YES” cache_id=”0.1”]
 * I had to add a Cache ID so when I refreshed it didn’t load the old version, so
   you might have to do the same. I recommend just making it the same as the version
   control number or something on the repository.

 * I was hoping that updating my github repository would automagically update the
   content in WP as well, but that doesn’t seem to happen without changing the cache
   ID.
 * Am I missing something?
