Okeys so its uploaded to your own host which Ive learned gives you more control and also is better for SEO (search engine optimization). It also have built in seo. My google searches went from 0 to like 50 a day after I upgraded to the first version with SEO.

When your on a blogging network then your just improving the rankings of the main site (ex blogger.com) because your just a subdomain on it.

Also this is a multilingual, multiuser, multiblog script. You can have several authors on your blog with different levels of permissions (can only comment, can post, can edit the blog). You can also use a different template for each of these blogs. So say you have your main personal blog, then you have a family blog, how about a craft blog, maybe one for hubby....all sub blogs that can have different plugins, user permissions,different templates..... Maybe you have an English blog then a Portuguese one, or a photo blog. Its very dynamic.

I don't know, I debated between B2Evolution and Wordpress (self hosted) for a while. I think we briefly had B2 installed but I couldn't figure it out very easily and that's why we switched to WP- which I am not a huge fan of, but oh well.

it can take a little extra work to figure out but I think the results are worth it. Im here to help if anyone wants to learn b2e
