Question: What is dynamic=“off” and why would I want to use it?

Answer: From the EE Documentation:

The weblog display engine sets some parameters dynamically, based on what is in the URL. There are times, however, where you do not want the parameters affected by what the URL contains. To override the dynamic nature of the weblog tag, use dynamic=“off”.

This is often useful if you want to list entries in a “sidebar” on your site and have them always be the same ones regardless of which page on your site you visit (main page, archives, comments, etc.). By setting dynamic=“off” you will ensure that the list is not affected by anything passed in the URL.

NOTE: Make sure you don’t put in any spaces between the word dynamic and = and “off”.
