I have a paper done in ConTeXt that I would like to put online. I _could_
manually convert my input to markdown, but I was wondering if the
xml/xhtml export options could be used to accomplish the same thing.
Why do you want to introduce markdown as an intermediate format? The
exported XML can be used directly.
I opened the xml code in my browser, and there is zero formatting whatsoever. 
So it seems that something else is needed to get the formatting right for the 
web. Hence my thought of converting to markdown.
If you set

\setupbackend
   [export=yes,
    xhtml=yes,
    css={context-export.css},
   ]

then the exported xhtml file should link to context-export.css file and 
most modern browsers render the xml correctly (at least opera, firefox, 
and chrome on Linux render it correctly).
...
Ok, so I have the .export and .css files. How do I turn them into something a 
browser can display correctly?
See above.
...
How can I turn it into something I can copy 
and paste into, say, WordPress?
You cannot. ConTeXt does not generate xhtml; it generate xml. The only way 
to convert xml to xhtml is to use a xmlproc stylesheet (or write your own 
xml conversion code in a programming language).
