It's great that you have documented this process, especially the failures section, not enough people do this in my opinion. However, it really annoys me when people make these blog style posts on GitHub. Sorry OP, I for one disapprove.

What's the problem with posting on Github? I could see several benefits for it: no ads, source control, easy edit from the web page, notifications for your followers...
