Comment (by folletto):

 > I disagree, quite strongly. In my experience, relatively non-technical
 clients think of the blog as a "page" on their website.

 I'm not sure... I think we agree actually. Exactly because users perceive
 "blog" as just another page, we need to present it as such. The design
 concept above does '''precisely''' that. :)

 The detail of it being a "virtual" page or a real page, is an
 implementation detail. I suggested virtual because we already have other
 pages that do the same and aren't mapped anywhere (archives), but can
 easily be a "real" page that can't be deleted (or handled in a way that
 can be restored, given its importance).
