Yet all of these (but scaling) could be subserved by a dynamic website. Static sites have drawbacks too:

- Hard to create feeds

- Search is left to google

- Mostly impossible to use for photoblogging and anything that requires mobile

etc.

Why would it be hard to create feeds? It's just a matter of adding a template and letting the static generator create an XML file from the same content.

I was developing a (java|coffee)script-only full text search engine (not just some simple regex match, but something memory efficient with succinct data structures) to have an answer for search, but than it occurred to me that I rarely, and in general never, use search on someone else's blog.
