I thought about that. The only reason I didn't do that was that I didn't want too many DNS paths in the way. I'm sure that can be worked around though and I will work on adding that.
Of course, if backgroundhost.com/{slug} is OK then this wouldn't be an issue. I could use a shorter domain name too as long as it makes sense since it is CNAMEd to the CDN anyways.
This is just a weekend project for fun. It is mainly for my own use but I thought I would post it here to see if anyone had good sources of content that I could add into my daily reads. Thanks!
It is interesting to hear that eBay originally was against the use of PayPal. Did they at one time have a competing system that they were trying to push? It seems to me that anything that would allow users to simplify their payment would be a good thing. I am guessing that PayPal originally wanted to take credit cards directly (?).
