Weren't we going to host on AWS? What is the problem with maintaining a Ruby stack exactly? Isn't it just a question of installing whatever is required for Jekyll and perhaps upgrading it once in a blue moon? Isn't it just a question of: $ sudo apt get install rubygems$ gem install jekyll bundler And then periodically upgrading? Ian.
