For the record, it's running *exit* relays at home that is not recommended. Running non-exit relays at home is typically fine -- the most likely problems are that some overzealous blacklist will put your IP address on their list, making some websites not work so well for you if you also use that IP address for your own traffic. Some of these overzealous blacklists are just being stupid, because they don't understand about exit policies: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#ExitPolicies but others of them are intentionally trying to harm people who are trying to support Tor: http://paulgraham.com/spamhausblacklist.html
But back to the original thread here: some residential ISPs filter incoming port 80 for all of their customers, to make it hard for you to run a website at home unless you upgrade to the version of their service with the word 'business' in its name. So if 80 isn't working, and you can't figure out why, one of your debugging steps should be "see if a different port works better".
