Domain setup

1. Buy domain on iwantmyname
2. Create www.mikefrawley.com bucket in s3
   • enable for web
   • paste in bucket policy from [1]
3. Install middleman syng gem and set secret key config
   • load from un-checked in secrets.rb

Ugh, pretty painful as I tried setting up mikefrawley.com and www.mikefrawley.com buckets in s3 and load from the naked domain. I entered in a redirect from mikefrawley.com => www.mikefrawley.com initialialy which I tried to correct but s3 console wouldn't let me delete that entry. Even deleting and recreating the bucket kept it around. Anyways, its a bit more work to set that up anyways as it requires using amazon's dns system so I did a dns level redirect.

Asset hosting

Setting up cloudfront was really easy. Made assets{1-4} subdomain and enabled asset hosting in cofig.
