Personally I feel there are other advantages to "blogging" as well. Fresh Content, niche directories, pinging sites when you update a page to show on the home page of Blogger.com, RSS feeds, features such as track back... Now back on topic. Your page rank of your home page could have changed for numerous reason...but it is most likely due to less incoming links. My thought is this, you said you changed your whole site over to a blog? If you changed your internal file/page structure it will take a whole "crawling cycle" to re-index and to recount the links back to your home page...this would be enough to account for the change. My guess is still that one of your incoming links changed and that is where you saw the influence. The most important thing to keep in mind is not your page rank, but it is your traffic and ranking, have you seen a major change in either?
Panic, it just makes it easier to update, you can "blog" from any computer in the world, as long as it has Internet access. With Standard publishing of a page you would need notepad, or your WYSIWYG editor, an ftp program...
