I don’t know anything about SEO, but wouldn’t giving the main page unchanging text that summarizes what the site is about help us appear higher in searches, as well?
Not at all, Google strongly favors “fresh” content. I don’t think the change will make any real difference though; there’s still the same amount of fresh content at a different URL, and (I assume) most searches point to a specific post rather than the front page.
