With ezStatic I still create the static content manually. If WP 1.3 solves the problem without much custom coding, then I am really looking forward to it.

If I was still going to have to fire up my HTML editor everytime I wanted to amend it I knew a) I wouldn’t do it and b) I might as well use basic PHP pages or my own brand CMS. The method I use(d) keeps all the content in the database, just alters how it comes out, which makes it very easy to maintain.

As the author points: “This plugin lets you embed static HTML pages from your root directory into your WP template simply by specifying ?static= in the URL.”
