For Blogging Beginners

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. You can install it as an extension to a website you already own.
