[wp-hackers] Turn off blog/ Pure CMS?

[Stephen Rider]

Is there any way to essentially turn off the blog features of  
WordPress and use it as a pure CMS?

Essentially, Turn off Posts and just have Pages ?

I know you could easily "hide" it by setting the blog page to  
something different -- but how would we make it be "not there".

Thought I'd throw this out to the list, as it seems it would be a  
good feature (or tutorial) for the growing number of people for whom  
WordPress is more CMS than blog app....
