WORDPRESS, as Roy Montero said in response to a question on Blog Talk Radio(quote) Wordpress rules and all the others drool (unquote). Which is not to say that it can't have problems and certainly isn't perfect .

Just tried out b2evolution, I agree that it is easier in some respects, confusing in others and a possible contender for the Crown. The Default look is much like Word Press.
Right now I have it on a sub domain if I understand the term or on this sort of URL "www.xxx.yyyy/b2evolution". I had trouble trying to use Simple Scripts it didn't like my first login. However with Fantasico at Blue Host it was a snap or should I say a click to install
Think the problem with Simple Scripts was I wasn't asked for a username and password and trying to use admin and the copied&pasted password didn't work. Fantasico did ask me for a username and password which worked
