Even if it doesn’t cover all avenues, simple is great. Fantastic idea!
Only one thing though. Does anyone know how to create multiple content both dynamic and static on this static page?

With the newer versions of wordpress it is easier to create a static homepage. Just create two pages in the page manager; one titled “home” and the other titled “blog”. Then goto Dashboard => Settings => Reading and select static homepage and choose “home” for the homepage and the blog posts to be directed to the “blog” page. It what I have done on my website.

As Dragon stated, if you are using WP 2.1 or later, there is no need to futz about with the code like this.

What are the benefits for doing it this way vs just using WP Admin -> Options and setting the front page that way? Or was this hack for older versions of wordpress?

There’s no need for any hacks for WordPress 2.1 – Just go to WP Admin -> Options -> Reading and set which page you want to use for the home page, and which page you want to use as the blog page.
