Not sure I 100% understand the response, but I guess I feel it should either look like a blog or not look like a blog. Even my dad knows what a blog looks like, and right now that post sort of looks like it's part of a half-implemented blog.
If you don't want it to look like a blog, why not get rid of the "06. DEC, 2010 CATEGORIES: UNCATEGORIZED BY PATRICK MCKENZIE COMMENTS OFF" byline completely? And maybe "comments off" at the end too, since if it's not a blog what do you need comments for.
And if it's not a blog, I sort of wonder why you're using a blog engine rather than whatever other CMS or static pages, but I can completely understand if the blog engine is the easiest way to do what you want to do.

I use Wordpress for the marketing site because I can concentrate on writing copy and end up with something which looks good very quickly, whereas when I write copy in Netbeans I end up concentrating mostly on balancing my tags and end up with uninspired copy which looks cruddy.
- cdr 16y agoLike I said, I completely understand doing what's fastest/easiest, and that definitely makes sense. If Wordpress is what you know, it's completely defensible even if it's overkill. To be fair though, the choice isn't really "Wordpress vs handwritten HTML" - there are plenty of CMS systems that aren't big gnarly blog engines, and there's even just basic template systems.
