@JohnR: I agree that SBI originally began with a focus on static sites, but SBI does support blogging now. This may have been added recently -- I'm not sure. They even offer a site-blogging feature, so your entire site can be RSS-enabled.
Blogging isn't great for everyone, especially income-generating niche sites, because it's a lot of work to maintain. For example, can you really write something fresh and new about juggling every week? Most people don't have the discipline to build and maintain a successful blog long-term, but they can create successful smaller sites with a couple dozen good articles on a niche topic.
Although I didn't mention it in my review because I thought it would be overkill for most people, they've also started offering Web 2.0 features like being able to add a wiki to your site. So as far as I can tell, they're definitely moving in the direction of more dynamic content.
They continue to upgrade and evolve their service, so it becomes richer and more robust year after year. They seem very focused on doing what's best for building traffic and generating income for the average person. Most people aren't capable of building a hugely successful blog, so their primary focus seems to be on smaller, tighter niche sites that generate income consistently.
