I am considering installing and learning to use the Perl blogging engine script "ode", first in the LAN and later, on a remote host for public access.
My last blogging experience was with WordPress. I started with the first release, but as releases of updated versions and patches became more frequent, WordPress quickly became a very demanding "religion". In particular, I could not tolerate the inability of WordPress to automatically transfer customizations and configuration settings from one release to the next. Ode assumes that the blogger is going to use his normal text editor to produce plain text, then allow ode to utilize "markdown" to convert plain-text to HTML. However, ode allows the direct import of HTML. My intention is to write posts in LaTeX markup (which is how I write everything nowadays) and convert from LaTeX to HTML for the blog. Several years ago, I was using HeVeA to convert LaTeX to HTML, but with the advent of HTML5 and CSS, that may not be practical today. Recommendations? Warnings?
