WordPress?

Because this .Text blogging application is sucking harder and harder I looked at some other applications, WordPress being the most prominent. WordPress is a PHP+MySQL rig, so we don't expect too much from it. It's nice that it's apt-get installable on Debian, but if we then try to upload an image:
Unable to create directory /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Huh? We've given WordPress write access to our MySQL database already, why would it need write access on the filesystem to store images? Because somehow the database is too crappy to store blobs without a performance hit, the programmers don't know how to do it, or it somehow is a feature to make scaling and migration more complicated than just moving a database around?

Wordpress really has been my hero for the last 2,5 years and-counting.
And you really don't wanna store images as blobs in a database... c'mon! Only stupid people do that! :-P
