Static pages are the Welcome Center, from which visitors go to different directions, either to other static ones, or the dynamically changing content (blog, wiki ..etc.). Incidentally, I could do most of this all withing my blogware platform, but it really does not matter how many different packages/sites you use, they can seemlessly be mashed together. For companies, organizations there will likely be more static pages, but my whole point was that for individuals static pages only (i.e. the traditional website) just won't cut it. If you only had your <a href="http://bigben.blogs.com/website/index.html" rel="nofollow">regular homepage </a>, I'd look at it, say, wow, interesting, than move on, never to look back. Your blog got me hooked though, and I feel I am geeting to know you, although we've never met. The static page is a window, and we all know about "window-dressing". Through the ongoing dialogue (blog), the real person comes through and that's why it's so immensely valuable. Ben, I read your static site and think it plays very well together with the blog.

Sticky posts address this half way. I need a static web site because sometimes my recent posts do not provide an accurate / brief look for a random person at who I am.

Hey, you should be sleeping, it's late (should I say early?) in Florida :-) Oh, well, I guess that means the technology offers two-way communication … whether one takes advantage or not is a different question.

In contrast Scoble also at Microsoft has a thriving multi-way conversation thread on his blog...many anti-MS comments ...
