+I decided to use Amazon EC2 to host the blog, because they give you 1 year free on a micro instance.  Plus I've always wanted to learn how to host something on Amazon's cloud.  I'll get a linux instance and put an Apache HTTP server on it.  Should be easy enough to do.
+
+Here's my EC2 management console after signing up for an Amazon account and creating a linux micro instance:
+![EC2 Management console](/images/EC2 management console.png)
+
+It took a bit to then be able to log in.  I had to add a security group that allowed SSH login, then used my ssh key generated by Amazon to ssh into the instance.  It gave me an error, 'permissions are too open', so I had to change the key permissions to only be readable by my user: `chmod 400 ~/.ssh/macbook.pem`.

+
+Adding Apache HTTP turned out to be easier than I thought.  The linux AMI comes preinstalled with Yum, which is a linux package manager.  I just had to `yum install httpd`, then start up the service.  I followed this tutorial: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html
+
+The main gotcha was I hadn't yet added a security group to allow HTTP traffic to my instance.  That was fairly easy and fortunately the tutorial pointed it out.  I admit I don't understand all the linux-ese but the tutorial fortunately explained what was going on.
+
+I had to change the hostname and regenerate the site.  I suppose I'll try to modify the theme so that it's less dependent on the hostname, but I think it will be easier to just codify that into a deploy script.  Generating the site looked like this:
+
+`hugo --baseUrl="http://ec2-54-149-156-115.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com"  --theme=hugo-uno`
+
+I then copied the files from the 'public' folder to /var/www/html on the server using scp.  Here's the command:
+
+`scp -i ~/.ssh/macbook.pem -r ./ ec2-user@ec2-54-149-156-115.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:/var/www/html`
+
+After that I could navigate to http://ec2-54-149-156-115.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/ in my browser and my blog worked!  Hooray!
+
+I'll probably code all that up into a deploy script, but I'll wait till I get the domain first.
