This is my favorite concept: writing HTML by hand, but having a static wrapper, which also takes care of links and their validity, and things like tags, public visibility of posts, RSS feeds and so on. (The data feed for this may live in a static data file, as this will be still of moderate size — you probably won't have multiple hundreds of posts — and loads without db latency. As a bonus, since there is no input and no query, this should be quite secure. Or rather, as secure as you basic server setup.)
