After reading a couple threads in a couple different topics on this board I keep noticing a recurring theme: updates are a pain. Why? If you're dealing with generating and uploading static content you could literally write a single PHP file that uses a mysql backend (with one or two tables in it) in maybe an afternoon to generate your pages and upload them. Stuff the build command in your scheduler (at or cron, depending on your platform) and you would never need to think about it. I would think if standing up so many sites is so profitable, but so painful when you're dealing with multiple sites then a week browsing the documentation on php.net or reading a book on php would be a very rewarding investment for years to come. Just my thoughts on that.
