I also wrote a Django App Engine site for my blog, just to check out App Engine: http://www.andrewljohnson.com. It is in fact really easy to use.

I'll give the source to anyone who wants it :)

I've been looking into what helper I should use for App Engine + Django. I've been trying to decide between google-app-engine-django (what this tutorial uses) and the app-engine-patch.

http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/

http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/

Anyone have an comparisons or recommendations?

Can anyone give me some basic cost estimates for running a blog like this? Obviously it fluctuates depending on usage, but even a ball park would help.

Currently I'm planning on doing my blog off of webfaction with Django, but I'm not sure how they'd compare?

If you can run under the free quota, its free. Most blogs probably will run within that.
