b2evolution is a multi-lingual, multi-user, multi-blog publishing system written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. It provides similar functionality to blogger or typepad except that it is released under a freely distributable license, and it runs on your own domain / website.
b2evolution is focused on ease of installation and feature richness. It can easily be installed on almost any LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) host in a matter of minutes.
b2evolution generates web pages dynamically from the 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.
Features include:
- Advanced browsing (paged, calendar, categories, search…).
- Instant blogging (no rebuilding necessary).
- Multiple users, authors and blogs with a single installation.
- Draft and quick publishing.
- Extended and multipaged posts.
- Supports blog skins and themes.
