Movable Type, one of the original blogging platforms, worked (and works) exactly like that, though it also supports dynamic publishing. For example, Jeff Atwood's blog has always been statically generated: http://blog.codinghorror.com/coding-horror-movable-type-sinc...

That's really cool! I like that. It's nice to see that a platform like Movable Type has had this feature right off the bat for such a long time.

The main reason that we decided to build SpudPress this way, is that you can more or less take your existing WordPress site and instantly make it static.

In contrary to Jeff's Movable Type blog we're taking full advantage of the static pages to host the entire site on a CDN + handle asset cache validation automatically.

So is Daring Fireball.
