 * I tried the basic posts extension, and it works very well. However, it creates
   dated blog posts for each folder on the LR side, which then show up in the blog
   archive as if they were blog posts on a specific date. Could you create an option
   to make them Pages instead? That way they can always be in the same place, at
   the same slug location, and the date no longer matters.

 * Hello,
 * Those extensions are made to be built upon, there are so many options I could
   add to this 🙂 I receive new ideas almost every day. Generally, people want to
   have them in a custom post type (like a specific post type created by specific
   a specific theme).
 * In your case, it’s quite simple. You can copy paste the Basic Posts extension
   file to a Basic Pages extension file. This file can go into a “my-plugin” folder
   of your plugins folder and you can put this file directly. It should be recognized
   as a standalone plugin (and it will work with WP/LR Sync). You should also remove
   the little hyphen in the first paragraph, for example this:
 * `- Plugin Name: Basic Posts`
 * should be
 * `Plugin Name: Basic Posts`
 * Then in this file, the only thing you need to chance in this line :
 * `'post_type' => 'post'`
 * to this :
 * `'post_type' => 'page'`
 * Then you can really customize everything from there. It’s better to have a developer
   around, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.
