Amount of 'newbie investors' in IOTA and their over-zealous defence in any medium is scary.
We've had Perl people, Python people, Ruby people and their arguments but none of those invested their money in languages' success. This blockchain programming zeal mixed with investors trying to hype their currency is annoying and mildly scary.

What's actually stored on the ledger? Like if I make a blog post with title "Hello world" and body "1234", would those two strings be on the ledger?

Just remember that all the message/transaction metadata is purged when the IOTA team makes a “snapshot”. One of my first evaluations of IOTA was to store IPFS URLs in transactions. Then came a snapshot and all the data was gone. This probably wouldn’t happen in a system with transaction fees.

Hey, one of the developers here! Happy to see this on Hacker news, thought the CMS is still in heavy development.
Happy to answer questions and I hope we can stay on the problem/technology/product topic and oversee all the crazy speculation stuff ;)

Does the particular content object live as single chunk of data in the decentralized network or as multiplicated copies as in case of virtual currencies ?

This seems like it might be interesting if there were some technical detail about how it actually works.
