I just tried to help someone here but markdown didn't format my code properly so I guess I need to learn the ropes. So I'll try again. Please tell me what if anything I'm doing wrong.

You did it correctly, but there needs to be a line break between the last sentence and the opening 3 backticks. I added the space in you question, so you can just click "edit question" to see.
Also, if you want to write stuff after the code block, there needs to be a line break between the closing 3 backticks and the next sentence.
Keep Coding! :)

I figured an explanation and seeing it would be best. :)
