This is a writer's blog, not a professional developer. Heck, I'm a professional developer and if someone asked me how they should create their blog, I'd suggest going to Wordpress too.

I know a little about CDNs and statically generated sites, but only through skimming a few articles and reading online comments.

How is a writer supposed to know about the latest trends for serving content to a high number of users -- just to handle rare one-off cases when your blog gets hammered?
