Argh.

PHPFog was my goto place for self-hosting Wordpress blogs, is AppFog as simple?

Another alternative might be Wordpress+Heroku:

I've used it for a few projects and it works reasonably well.

AppFog is just as simple and way more powerful too.

But will WP work without a persistent file system? Doesn't that mean you can't upload pictures to your posts?

[luc_perkins]

AppFog does not currently support persistent file systems, but we're working hard on adding this feature. In the meantime, we strongly recommend Amazon S3 as a persistent file store.

Why wouldn't you want to host your WordPress blog at a Managed WordPress Host like ZippyKid, Web Synthesis or WP Engine?

Give OpenShift a try. It has a free tier and it is backed by Red Hat. https://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example

I'm using pagodabox.com it works great for me.
