 * I know WordPress made a conscious decision to not allow posters to implant PHP
   into posts through the editor, but I really need this option. Since I am the 
   only admin of my blog, and on a dedicated server…
 * 1) Does the Exec-PHP plugin open myself up to a security vulnerability?
 * 2) If so, what could be the worst case scenario?
 * Obviously hundreds of thousands of people are using the Exec-PHP plugin… but 
   for those of you bloggers who are very “security” savvy.. what are your thoughts?
   Do you or would you use it?
 * Thanks for any guidance and advice.

 * No. This is a well written plugin that has been around a long time
