What is b2evolution?
Editing a post b2evolution is probably the most comprehensive blog engine you can find!
It includes almost any feature you could expect from a blog tool, and more ! Check out the features, not to mention third party plug-ins!
Plus, it’s free (instant download), it’s open-source (GPL), it runs virtually anywhere (PHP/mySQL) and it’s available in many languages!
Feature highlights
Instant blogging - Type something in the web interface, hit "Blog this!" and it’s on your site! No rebuilding necessary. You can also blog by sending an e-mail, by sending an MMS or by using a client tool such as w.bloggar.
Blog skins - Provide different presentations for your blog, change the look & feel... Don’t throw away your layout when you redesign your site: provide your readers with a selection switch!
AntiSpam Deluxe - Get rid of referrer and comment spam thanks to a community maintained spam database.
Localized in several languages - Already available: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech , Dutch , Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish, Swedish. And it’s really easy to translate to your own language too.
Multiple blogs - If you want 2, 3 or 100 different blogs/newsfeeds on your site, no need to install the software several times. You can display each blog on its own page, or even display several blogs on the same page. For example, as a sidebar to a main blog, you could display a sub-blog to act as a photblog, a moblog, a linkblog or a blogroll.
Multiple users and authors - Each blog has its own set of member users. You decide who gets to write on a particular blog. And you can even restrict read access on particular posts. Full user management included!
Advanced categorization - Each blog can be sub-divised into categories and sub-categories to organize your posts/news items by subject or theme. Each post can be assigned multiple categories.
Web standards compliance - There’s even an integrated XHTML checker to help you post valid content.
For average bloggers - b2evolution is a classy news/weblog tool (aka logware), i-e software allowing you to run newsfeeds and weblogs. It does basically the same thing blogger.com and typepad.com do, but with two main differences:
- It’s free as free can be! (GNU General Public License)
- It runs on your own domain/website. That means you need a host which can run web applications written in PHP. See requirements.
As you will find out, b2evolution also includes a lot more feature than the average blog tool. Check out the Features! b2evolution is a blog tool for blogger who want more!
For advanced bloggers - You could compare b2evolution to Movable Type, except b2evo runs on the very common PHP/mySQL platform, which allows it to run easily on almost any web hosting service! b2evolution also generates web pages dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy ’rebuilding’ is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your posts/news in different ’templates’ or ’skins’ without any hassle. b2evo is probably the most comprehensive blog engine you could find, with an unique set of features.
