b2evolution
You type something in a form and hit
"post this"; in the next second
it's on your website. Your posts are automatically arranged by date
and category into a skin/theme that you can chose (and customize
if you wish to do so). Readers of your website can then leave
comments which will appear below your post. They can also browse
through the archives and use advanced search capabilities. Unlike
online blog tools like
blogger.com,
b2evolution runs on your very
own domain and website.
b2evolution is
an advanced weblog tool, i-e software allowing you
to run your own blogs, newsfeeds or even photo sites.
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 including:
Feature summary
b2evolution includes all the features of
traditional blog tools, and
extends them with evolved features
such as file & photo
management advanced skinning, multiple blogs support as well as
detailed user permissions...
Features highlights
- AntiSpam Deluxe.
Effective combination of active and passive antispam
measures
including a community shared blacklist — to block
comment
and referer spam.
- Multiple blogs.
Install b2evolution once and use it for 2, 3, 10, 100 or
even
1000 blogs at the same time. Each blog can live on a
different
page, in a different folder, or on a different
domain... or you could
also chose to display several blogs
on the same page.
Photoblogs, moblogs, linkblogs ,blogrolls
can be added in a snap.
- Blog skins.
Skins do not only determine how your blog looks but also how
they behave: traditional blog, knowledge base, bug
tracker...
Additional skins can be easily downloaded and installed.
- Multiple users and authors.
Any user can be given permissions to read, write, moderate
or
fully customize any number of blogs. Complete and
detailed
permission management is included.
- Integrated stats.
b2evo will show you activity graphs for each blog, including
robots
RSS readers and browser hits broken down by
referrers, searches
direct accesses, self-referred, etc.
Also includes search keywords
user logins and more.
- Plugin framework.
b2evo's advanced
plugin framework allows you to extend the
application with
virtually any feature you may need... or simply
install
prebuilt plugins
provided by the community.
- Advanced categorization.
Each blog can be
sub-divided into categories and sub-categories
to organize
your posts by subject or theme. Posts can be
assigned
multiple categories, but even more: if you wish posts
can be
cross-posted among multiple blogs at once.
- Localized in several languages.
Many
languages packs are available for download. If you can't
find your language, use the localization toolkit to
easily
localize b2evo to your language.
- Web standards compliance.
b2evo is so W3C standards compliant that it is
used by the W3C itself! Additionally, b2evo has an
integrated
XHTML checker that lets you validate any new
content before
you post it.
- True workflow.
For example: submitters can post drafts, then assign them to
an editor who in turn may assign them to reviewers for final
approval and publication on the site. Actual workflow,
permissions and statuses are all up to you.
- Easy install & upgrade.
b2evolution's installer will take care of almost everything.
Basically, you only need to give it the name of a MySQL
database and you're set. Upgrading is equally simple.
Only
heavy customizations may require special care
when
upgrading.
