And a blog requires a Redis back-end because? I've hosted my blog on S3 & CloudFront for a while now without issue. Comments are hosted by Disqus, and the static files are generated using Pelican. Seriously, unless you're using your blog as a massive CMS, why not use static files?

because `./build.py; rsync -r site/ site.com:~/site/` is easy?
