Ask HN: Do you blog using wordpress?

My personal site is not much active but when I have something interesting I tend to post.

https://www.minvolai.com/blog I used to blog using wordpress in 2007. Then I migrated to static generator mynt and have been on this from atleast 5 years. Mynt is not so well maintained now and I plan to move to nikola, another static blog generator (written in python).

On the other hand, most of the web uses wordpress. So if I move back to wordpress, I believe I will have a better understanding of other people's workflows and issues. I do not mind keeping the installation up-to-date etc.

One thing that used to bug me when I was using wordpress, was embedding code snippets as a part of blog content. Wordpress would often replace embedded code symbols with html encodings , like ">" by ">". It got really annoying to open every post where it happens and set it right manually.

So my questions are:

* Has anyone moved a programming blog from static blog generator to wordpress? How is the experience?

* Has anyone faced the code replacement situation recently and if so, how do you handle it?
