No, the page within the site is encrypted as well. HTTPS opens up an SSL connection first, then uses HTTP protocol inside SSL, so someone running a sniffer can only see that you're connected via SSL to the HTTPS port on blah.com. I am a network engineer Technicaly, you could be running anything over the HTTPS port, and the only indication that it's not HTTP is the times and amounts of data transfered.
