Important information
Blog B contains a few posts in the ‘b2evolution Tips’ category.
All these entries are designed to help you so, as EdB would say: “read them all before you start hacking away!” ![]()
If you wish, you can delete these posts one by one after you have read them. You could also change their status to ‘deprecated’ in order to visually keep track of what you have already read.

#2: Blog B Title
Skins, Stubs and Templates...
By default, all pre-installed blogs are displayed using a skin. (More on skins in another post.)
That means, blogs are accessed through ‘index.php‘, which loads default parameters from the database and then passes on the display job to a skin.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to use the default DB parameters and want to, say, force a skin, a category or a specific linkblog, you can create a stub file like the provided ‘a_stub.php‘ and call your blog through this stub instead of index.php .
Finally, if you need to do some very specific customizations to your blog, you may use plain templates instead of skins. In this case, call your blog through a full template, like the provided ‘a_noskin.php‘.
You will find more information in the stub/template files themselves. Open them in a text editor and read the comments in there.
Either way, make sure you go to the blogs admin and set the correct access method for your blog. When using a stub or a template, you must also set its filename in the ‘Stub name’ field. Otherwise, the permalinks will not function properly.
Multiple Blogs, new blogs, old blogs...
By default, b2evolution comes with 4 blogs, named ‘Blog All’, ‘Blog A’, ‘Blog B’ and ‘Linkblog’.
Some of these blogs have a special role. Read about it on the corresponding page.
You can create additional blogs or delete unwanted blogs from the blogs admin.
