The emacs functions mentioned in the docs don't seem to exist in my org version 7.9.3f.

Any idea how I can get org-mode to export to markdown for me without pulling my hair out?

You should customize org-export-backends
and enable the markdown backend.
M-x customize-option and then org-export-backends and then arrow down to the checkbox to the left of 'md' and press enter to enable it (or just click on it, if running emacs graphically). Then arrow back up and over to 'Apply and Save' (or click on it).

I just ran into this package:
https://github.com/larstvei/ox-gfm
If you want specifically Github-Flavored Markdown, that should help.
It can be done using pandoc: pandoc -s progress.org -o progress.md
The two functions mentioned in the Link you mentioned, as of Org-mode version 8.0, are part of the ox-md.el
that has become part of the New Exporter Framework.
For upgrade instructions and more information take a look at the Upgrade Guide and also the announcement of this new framework by its author Nicolas Goaziou.
Have you tried
(eval-after-load "org"
'(require 'ox-md nil t))
as discussed in this answer? Once loaded you should see the export option in the normal org export list.

. After that it appeared every time afterwards, including after restarts. – Conor Mar 30 '15 at 0:07
