Wow! b2evolution 2.0 has just released, and it's alpha and everything... yet Globat is already offering it as a 1-click install feature in their hosting packages.
Very nice! B)
If you're looking for a new host, you might want to check them out! ;)
(They offer both 1.10.2 and 2.0)
I keep getting emails about this: YES you can install the new Miami Blue skin on b2evo 1.9 if you want to use it without upgrading to b2evo 1.10 yet.
Just download the skin here, unzip it in your /skins folder and then select in the the Blog settings.
We also have 52 downloadable skins for b2evolution 1.9 on the skins site right now. And let me repeat that: skins designed for 1.9 will also work on 1.10 B)
We also have an equal number of plugins to download on the plugins site.
Both the skins & plugin sites gave been moved to our new b2evo community server which makes them run significantly faster than they used to. Many thanks to Danny for the migration and to our generous donors who help us pay for the servers.
In case you're looking for a host (or a new host) for your b2evolution blog, we have worked something out with HostIcan which you may want to check out...
Hosting plans start at $6.95 / month and give you everything you need, including a free domain name as well as b2evolution automatic installation.
This also includes 800 GB / month bandwidth which is more than most of us could possibly use. (If you need more than that, you can get unmetered bandwidth for $10.95 / month)
Now, the best part: b2evolution users get a $10/$20 discount B) Just use the coupon codes below:
| Hosting plan | Billing period | Discount | Discount code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base-Host | 24 months | $ 10 | b2evo-base-24 |
| Tera-Host | 12 months or above | $ 20 | b2evo-tera-12 |
After the W3C, we're also proud to mention that Novell is using b2evolution for their PR blogs. B)
I wish those other large entities using b2evo would step forward! ;)
I stumbled on it by accident, but I thought it was cool enough to mention:
the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group uses b2evolution! B)
Best of all, making the weeb more usable in the mobile arena is something I'm very interested in ;)
