Thanks @ChadCoxRox I hope I can improve stuff as I go along.
On a completely unrelated note, looks like Squarespace as a web host will not work out. The reason is that they will not allow you to embed any javascript or iframes in a block on a webpage, which means I cannot embed Spotify/Anchor.fm podcast player on my page so people could listen to the podcast.
So they restrict what content you have have on the page because they want to upsell their service...by force. Right now I have the "Personal" plan because, well, it is a personal site. Thankfully I did not buy a full year's subscription but means I'm paying $16 per month instead of $12. So looks like I will just go back to doing self-hosting so I can do what I want. That's what I currently do for my blog. I will, however, get SSL for the podcast since I do want to actually appear in web searches and want SEO to work. I don't know if I'll need to but I may end up having to transfer the domain after I reach the 60 day mark if I cannot point my domain to my webserver. I would honestly prefer to go ahead and just start over on the website and host it myself and do it sooner so I can avoid paying their ridiculous monthly fee and have these limitations which I find rediculous...at least for my purposes. Can't embed a web player on a page at $16/month? F*** that.
