Steve,
It's good that they are headed in that direction, but I think you are confusing their ability to add a blogging component and RSS feed, with supporting a dynamic site that you build using Wordpress, joomla or the like. Here is a link to their hosting features page:
SBI! - Compare . This hasn't changed since I looked closely at them.
Look about halfway down that page and you'll see the section for php support indicating they do not support php. Just above that they indicate their support of XML and RSS. When I enquired about that with them, they said they absolutely do not support a dynamic web site that uses php, such as WordPress. You might want to ask them yourself before any further recommendations to your readers who I would think are largely into blogs. And there is a big difference in the effectiveness of WordPress's blogging capabilities as compared to using their system of adding a blog to your site with RSS feed.
I am sure that they are continuing to evolve, but I think they continue to miss a large segment of the market. They are smart enough to see the writing on the wall though.
Anyway, check it out and let me know.
Cheers,
John
