My LED has been digitalified!

I'm a noob at this, so don't laugh.
I started learning about for loops with my Arduino Uno and decided to play around with them. So I started coding.
I wanted to test what I had so far, so I clicked upload with the LED attached to pin 13...
My LED flashed on and off. It was supposed to get brighter and brighter and then go dark again and repeat.
I tried running the Fade program, and... it still flashed on and off. 0 and 1 with no gray area. (so it isn't a problem with my program.)
The flashing was the slightest bit lopsided, so the Arduino didn't reset itself to the Blink program again...

What the heck is happening? :~

Post your code and tell us how you wired your led to pin 13, did you use a series resistor with it? Or are you talking about the built in pin 13 led mounted on the board?

Only certain pins support PWM - the capability that allows you to make a LED get brighter or darker. Pin 13 is not one of them on a UNO.
