Adding posts in pages

I mean wordpress should allow us to post to a Page rather than making pages as static entities that can only be edited

Personally, it would be useful to me too if such a feature is available.
Different people have got different ways to express their blogs (and themselves), so having this option definitely provides users more flexibility and control too. :)

Independently-hosted WP has such an option. For WP.com to add it would be a bit of a nightmare, so don’t hold your breath.

I posted on this awhile ago and some suggestions were made, though i found them pretty unprofessional looking. Check it out at:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=32419&replies=11As for it being a feature that wp.com would find a “nightmare” to add i think that is pretty much bubkiss. Typepad offers it even with their lowest plan for like five bucks a month and sites like Weebly do it for free AND offer basic web pages too (that is where im migrating to).
There is a whole internet of possibilities out there, if WP doesnt have what you want try someone else. I keep my WP blog (un-updated) hoping that WP will learn that they have to compete with other services in order to stay relevant. One great way to do that is to leverage some of the nicer features of WP.org here on WP.com to make it easier for nontechnical users to express themselves the way they want. A web company cant rest its laurels on the same format. Blogger learned that the hard way. I hope WP wakes up soon, and stops just “remixing” what it already has like the joke of an upgrade we got like 3 months ago.
So keep throwing ideas like this one out there and hopefully someone with development power is listening.

You don’t understand the nature of WordPress.com; it’s an MU site.
That means that the software and “guts” of every blog using a given theme is shared. THAT is what means that having some separated out into multiblogs would be a nightmare. So don’t hold your breath.

I certainly wont hold my breath, i moved on months ago but try to stay active in the forums just to see how the project moves forward. By your description raincoaster it sounds like WP wrote themselves into a corner when developing their core infrastructure of their software which means like any other similar business model there is a limit to how successful and how sustainable WP can be. Now i see why many of my friends swear by Typepad/Moveabletype/Vox the Six Apart technology is more scalable for different uses and different abilities. Its a shame too I see many great applications for WP technology if they were only more user/non-technical user friendly. A free weblog that you can get pretty much anywhere will only get you so far.

@archer141-as others have already pointed out, it’s the nature of the MU platform. G*d knows WP.com isn’t the only available platform, but at 3,780,006 blogs and growing, they must be doing something right.
And just fyi that’s “bubkes” http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bubkes ;)

There is WordPress for independently-hosted blogs, WordPressMU for free download, and WordPress.com, which is WordPressMU hosted by WordPress itself, with additional bells and whistles, including SEO you simply won’t find anywhere else. And that comes from someone whose WordPress.com blog is #1 for the top news story in the nation right now.

lol i do hear that number thrown around a lot on the forums, but as any watcher of Social Networking sites knows its pretty meaningless. The numbers that really matter are the ones you never see. Like: How many people visit their site or update it on a weekly or daily basis? How many blogs are abandoned and/or have no content? How long does the average user keep their account before moving on? And finally how many blogs are just fraudulent sites ran by spammers?
No doubt WP is popular, the important question is: is it sustainable? Im beta testing over at GMX and thats the big question their development team is asking for feedback on. WP and pretty much everyone in this field of “social” technology needs to be asking the same thing to avoid business damaging re-writes of their format down the line, for an example see Facebook.

Well, you can look here http://wordpress.com/stats/ or at the monthly updates. Maybe those numbers have more meaning for you.
I think anything dynamic at some point becomes stagnant. Where is Greymatter today?
