Thanks for your reply Alex. I actually didn't know about the cache hits being free, so thanks for letting me know about that.
The thing is, I'd like to be able to use a blogging engine, such as Wordpress. I guess the other simple Ruby blogs may work fine, but I'm thinking that there may be some specific Wordpress plugins that I'd want to use. Anyone have any feedback on using a Ruby blog on Heroku, or using Wordpress on another host?
