I used to be all gung-ho about dynamic websites for my personal projects (I made a custom CMS for my site once), but then I started thinking about what would happen if I disappeared and if I wanted to leave my projects for other people to maintain in an easy way (assuming they even want to), and realized static content is the way to go.
Now I try to do things client side and powered by data in JSON format instead of creating relational databases and requiring web servers for everything. If I can't copy it to a DVD and have it run in a browser without connecting to the internet, I don't consider it to be good enough.
I do have a lot of flash games I need to figure out what to do with now that it's being phased out, though :/.
