Most of my clients aren't primarily bloggers, but use the blog as a means to drive traffic to their businesses. Some don't blog at all, but merely use WordPress as the CMS. We come from similar backgrounds. I began coding websites in strict HTML in 1994. (Now that's "from scratch!" ;)) There was no CSS and table-based sites were about as pretty as you could get. Then I went to GoLive and the to Dreamweaver. Using a GUI was like a new world in page coding! But WordPress is, IMO, so much better for general applications. It's simple, dynamic, and accessible for anyone who can use a word processor. And with Thesis, you have a great looking, clean design that is easy to make general customization to without code. Love the combo. Absolutely, David. Most of my clients aren’t primarily bloggers, but use the blog as a means to drive traffic to their businesses.

If you're just getting online, or if you are looking for an easy to edit, professional looking site, but don't have a budget with 3 (or more) zeros attached to it, then wordpress is a must. I used to design all of my own websites in Dreamweaver from scratch until I discovered wordpress. And let me tell you, it's one heck of a lot easier now, and a darn sight better looking. Like you've pointed out here, you don't have to set your home page in the traditional 'blog' format. From the business owners I've worked with, most have heard of WP, but associate it with a personal blog rather than a business homepage. With the static homepage and a little investment with somebody like studiopress, you can get a brilliant design, seo friendly, professional quality website with tons of functionality for peanuts.

By "blog aggregator" do you mean a collection of OTHER blogs or a collection of your OWN blog posts? If the latter, WordPress does that automatically, you simply have to set it up if you are using a static home page. I don't sell any products, but I'm happy to do custom site work. If you'd like me to look at your problem, just use the <a href="http://win-with-1.com/contact/">contact form</a> to get in touch with me. :) David, could you clarify what you’re looking for?

I've tired many plugins that feed to Post categories or Widgets, but just need something built into a static page (not our home page.) Are you selling a product that does this? Suggestions?
