Easy TLS
Just to conclude the drama before I abandon this nanoblog altogether... I'm probably going to eventually put everything in S3 buckets and AWS makes TLS really easy. In the meantime, cloudfront.com gives free load balancing and TLS for personal or small sites. so, on hostmonster.com, I redirected my DNS to point to their DNS, as instructed by cloudfront, and Bob's your uncle! Of course, the back end between cloudfront's load balancers and Hostmonster's site isn't encrypted, but it's not like I'm protecting Fort Knox. So all done for now!
