Recent commentsThis peace of art is just doing it all
I'm using b2evolution since 1 year. And everytime there is a new version I'm wondering what fantastic things they will invent next.
Multiple blogs, multiple languages, multiple authors, multiple status of posts, multiple tools, very nice anti spam, very good support forum, hard working programmers and contibutors with not only nice ideas, but also they inplement it in the next version.
Version 0.9 is the most complete I've ever seen.
And you only need mySQL and PHP, You don't need to know the language, because the templates that come along, are already very nice.
Great tool
I've tested a lot of blog tool before choosing this one. Just try it and see ALL it can do : multiple authors and users (with advanced ACL), multiple blogs, great antispam ...
You'll definitly adopt it. :)
Most complete FREE blogware
b2evolution is simply the most complete blogware that is completely free at the moment. None of the other blogging apps can compete with the features that are included with the basic release (i.e. not needing extra plugins - although these are supported by b2evo too!).
