I have something of a technical question; on my personal wiki, I've written a few essays which might be of interest to LWers. They're in Markdown, so you would think I could just copy them straight into a post, but, AFAIK, you have to write posts in that WSYIWG editor thing. Is there any way around that? (EDIT: Turns out there's a HTML input box, so I can write locally, compile with Pandoc, and insert the results.)

The articles, in no particular order:

(If you have Gitit handy, you can run a mirror of my wiki with a command like darcs get <http://www.gwern.net/> && cd www.gwern.net && gitit -f static/gwern.conf.)

You should be able to just copy and paste the HTML version into the WYSIWYG editor and it will magic something for you.

There is a button in the editor that allows to enter raw HTML (and it should be easy to construct a regex script to get whatever).

Hm. I'll try that and pasting next time I feel like a top-post, then.
