Ignoring the point that frankly, I probably don't care about my blog enough to do even that. The point I was trying to give was this -- my blog is not my app.

Ignoring the point that frankly, I probably don't care about my blog enough to do even that. The point I was trying to give was this -- my blog is not my app. My blog does not have paying customers. It may or may not be a 'foot-in-the-door' to future sales, but in the same way I'm don't throw money at titanium business cards to ensure they don't accidentally catch fire, I'm not going to throw money at my blog for similar reasons. The other point, y'know, that the article makes, is that if you're not serving static files for your blog, your blog is effectively "badly written". A static file scales to practically infinity. It's almost a guarantee that whatever else you're doing, even if it's wordpress with caching, doesn't scale as well. And again, why would I change my hosting bill from $10 a month to $100+ a month on the .01% possibility that I'll see a huge traffic spike?
