I’ve just managed to get my SSL certificate from CAcert.ort installed on therning.org. My main goal was to get the login page a little more secure. However, it seems WordPress (WP) is sorely lacking when it comes to dealing with HTTPS. The only consolation is that a quick search on Google shows that WP isn’t worse than other OSS blog software.

I harbour some hope that the next minor release of WP (that should be version 1.6) will address the issue. Otherwise I might feel forced to take up PHP programming, something I’ve managed to stay away from so far.
