DreamLife,
If my information is still correct that SBI does not support dynamic sites, then SBI is not what you personally are looking for.
You said you wanted a site somewhat like Steve's. Steve's site--and all blogs really--is a dynamic site as opposed to a static HTML site. The difference is: a dynamic site is made up of content that you write, that is served up "on the fly" when someone opens a page in their browser. Dynamic sites use programming languages like php to "get" the content for a page that is requested. The php coding in the dynamic site gets your content from a "database" where all your writing is stored. It literally pieces the page together for a reader when they open the page. A static site on the other hand is composed of pages that you write that are stored whole and intact (except for images) in files on your server, just as you designed them. There are no databases, and languages like php are not used.
If you want a site like Steve's, then you would be using a dynamic blogging platform like WordPress (preferred) or Joomla, etc. The main reason you want a dynamic site is because managing the content and design is infinitely easier and more effective. Ease of writing and publishing posts, and having a design that includes a sidebar that readers see on every page that updates every time you write a new post are a couple examples.
As Steve says though, to get it right, you do need to learn a lot. You don't need to learn much at all to get a blog going using Wordpress, but to get it operating efficiently for traffic and search engine optimization, requires some serious study.
So it all depends on your goal. If you want to run a site like Steve's, to share with family and friends, no problem; that's easy-peasy. If you want to make a descent income eventually with your site, and you want it to be the type of site you are reading now, then you'll have to invest the time in learning how.
JIMHO,
