Search engines don't care WHAT makes the html they're parsing.

<h1>Hi</h1> as outputted by a PHP script is the exact same as <h1>Hi</h1> as outputted by a Perl script (which is what I believe MT is).

A static webpage is a completely different entity than what google caches. Google caches "snapshots" of the page. Thus, what is outputted by b2 is going to have the exact same weight as the output of MT. Do you understand what I'm saying thus far? For the purposes of actually parsing the HTML and all that, it doesn't really care what makes the page (and probably can't tell anyway)

Now then, what DOES make a difference, and maybe what you were thinking of is the fact that google does figure out that pages are dynamic. (I believe this occurs when you have querystrings, IE: index.php?view=foo). What googles does is then not index as deeply, because its dynamic, who knows, it might go into an infinite loop (the URLs are all different, say for a visit-tracker)

HTML pages, since they are static, are completely archieved in search engines meaning much more content for search engines to archive.

Repeat that? I'm confused? Either there is circular logic or I'm missing something.

Oh, and why must you make every post orange? I have some serious vision impairments, and its causing me problems reading your posts. :-X (Excessively bright color on relatively bright color)
