Adam Newbold poses a great question on syndicating posts vs. pages that he’ll answer with Neato:
Our websites have pages that don’t get syndicated (what we think of as “static” pages) and things that do (what we think of as “blog posts”). But… why? Why not just syndicate everything? If you have an “About” page and you change it, why wouldn’t you want to add that to your feed and let your readers know about the update? If you make a nice new static page, why should you have to announce it and link to it in a separate blog post when having that page appear in your feed does the job for you?
it's a great question and to some degree this is why I manually maintain a changelog and also have this metablog. Other than that, is this limitation (page vs blog post) imposed by the CMS itself?
@numericcitizen I don't believe it's primarily a question of the CMS, but rather a question of the prevailing mindset that manifests itself in the implementation of the CMS (plural).
