I had always a problem with Wordpress. On the one hand it is the right
tool to use (comparing to my previous use of blogger, quite certainly
better), but some things were just hard to swallow. I dream about using
AtomPub for my posting, but then I hit `this bug`_ and it suddenly is
not possible to post HTML to Wordpress without having it molested to
awful mess (see also `this post`_ which seems to vent a similar
frustration).

Today I have decided that I am either part of the problem or part of the
solution, and it is hard to deal with this issue, if I am not using it
(see also `other post`_ about my troubles with Atompub). So, my home
server is now (among other things) running Wordpress.

I have still some problems and SELinux is not happy (something about
symlinks and MySQL), but generally it works and when I switched off
Visual Editor and allowed Raw HTML, it seems like a workable solution.
