Instead of a blog a better example to showcase a web framework would be a wiki, forum or even HN.

Not bashing the OP but tutorials and screencasts like this fail at the first step by teaching the beginner a blog should be dynamically generated.

Tutorials and screencasts like this are a great resource for beginners as an introduction to a new framework. And the "blog" has been the de facto standard web app to showcase the framework. But as developers we should know that web apps like blogs should be statically generated and saying otherwise is setting a bad example to beginning programmers.

Blogs are like the "Hello World" of dynamic web apps. No one is implying that this is where web dev ends at.
