Default Wordpress Home Page - Static?

Is it better to have a static 'landing page' or 'home page' on your wordpress blog? Does it help with SEO? Otherwise if you blog daily - how are the SE's going to rank your site - based on what?

I've created a new placeblog and I'm hoping it will take off. My town needs something to give it a kick in the butt. All our 'official' city websites are html based and look like my grandmother designed them. I wanted to create something entirely different - and hopefully build a nice traffic flow - and adsense flow.

If you don't mind - if any of you blog experts could look at my site and maybe give me a few pointers? I need help with SEO and adsense placement.

Thanks!

You don't necessarily need to have a completely static home page for SEO purposes, but a static paragraph or two that describes what the blog is all about could certainly go a long way.

I have an 'welcome' section - but its coded into thr sidebar. Is this sufficient?

I'm also adding alot of 'community event' type posts - (filler I guess) in order to use the Event Cal. Is there also a way to just show the entries for one category on startup? Instead of all these silly public service announcements?
