In order to skip certain types of pages when making a pagelist, you
need to use the list= parameter in your (:pagelist:).

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageLists#pagelistlist

list=normal would probably get rid of most of your problem, but if you
have special pages with "abnormal" names you might have to create a
new $SearchPatterns['whatever'] in a local customization file.
BlogSimple and BlogSimple2 both have set special search patterns for
this purpose and called them list=blog.
