Anyone out there using their Zen Blog page as their Homepage? Has it helped with SEO?

Hello 
I am re thinking my SEO strategy and was wondering if anyone is using their Zenfolio Blog as their landing / homepage (instead of the default "Built In" Homepage). Google needs text to find us and I think that it would make more sense to use the Blog's layout since more useful text may be displayed on a single page for robot indexing.

I haven't used my blog as my home page but my blog is my page with the best SEO.
In addition to being the page with the most text and most links to other pages with lots of text, it was my the page that was updated most regularly. Having pages that are updated often with new and relevant info helps greatly with SEO. -

Using the blog as the homepage will not affect the URLs of any other pages in your site. All other pages will still be accessible with their existing URLs.
The only page affected is the homepage. It will no longer be accessible when the External Homepage feature is used.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to embed the blog's RSS into the homepage or into the About section. For one, it is only possible to embed HTML code into the About section. RSS feeds use a different structure and will not be displayed properly when embedded into a field that uses HTML.
Also there is only a limited amount of space available in the About message. It is likely not able to support all of the code required to display the blog.
Also the blog is not designed to be displayed within another page. Trying to do so, even in something like an iframe, will cause issues with the readability of the site.

What about embedding the blog RSS onto the default homepage instead? Can I do this in the "About" section?
