Depends on what we're trying to achieve. Dynamic pages ease certain types of collaboration and user-added content, but static pages are
not
intrinsically evil and put less of a load on the server.
Both can be good, If anything I'd do a bit of both.
Simple php/html + a commenting system.
here is a good example of very basic and yet has dynamic elements: http://incise.org/htpicker.html
It uses disqus for the comments, for which I have mixed feelings. I'd rather not relay on external services for parts of the website.
I think Calvin was advocating the general concept, not the specific implementation. I'm sure we can find an open-source, locally-hostable comment system that requires only PHP, HTML4/XHTML1, and CSS<=2 (and if we can't, I'm sure I'm not the only one here capable of creating such a system if it turns out to be both useful and necessary).
That would be nice.
