Heh, good eye. Ultimately, I'm a pragmatist, and there isn't a blogging platform as flexible and as powerful as WordPress built in Rails. I like to think it is my pragmatic approach to learning Rails that separates my workshop from other ("Kitchen sink included!") training options.

But to keep it a part of my normal Rails workflow, I'm running WP on Heroku (http://decielo.com/articles/350/wordpress-on-heroku-up-and-r...), and using it with Pow locally. :]

That config stood up to HN traffic quite well on the one free dyno from Heroku.

Heh, no worries. It just caught my eye (former WP dev). I'm actually really impressed with offerings like Octopress or, more Rails specific, Bloggy: http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2012/introducing-bloggy-a-sim...

But, wow, that configuration deserves an HN traffic spike recap blog post!
