There's a new beta out at the b2evo group. I've just installed it and upgraded from my b2 0.62 with only two errors, and these have both now been fixed. The skinning feature is really rather nice, you should try it...

The b2evolution doesn't touch the b2 tables in your database, so nothing will get screwed up. If you don't like it, just delete the tables and carry on with b2. The skining feature is too deeply intergrated with the re-written b2evolution core to be able to be used with b2 I think.

I confirm that: there is absolutely no risk in trying an upgrade from b2 to b2evolution.

Just install b2evolution in another folder and follow the upgrade instructions.

You'll end up with two blogs and two separate database table sets.

After that you can just delete wathever of your two installations you don't want to keep, b2 or b2evo. The other one will continue working as before.

well, ... there is something i wanted to know... uh... so i will get 2 tables... i just delete one i dont want... all the info from the old b2 will b there? in both? how do i upload it all? with all the original files for b2? and then all the other ones for b2evo? they r in folders and such. do i just add the folders and then the rest of the files? and then delete the original b2 files if i dont wanna use b2 no more? i need help.

Yes all the info from your b2 will be there, in both table sets.

What you do is that you just upload b2evolution into a new folder on your website and then you let b2evolution duplicate the database tables for you.

At the end you deleted whatever you don't want to keep.

If you unzip your b2evolution, you'll find a welcome index.html file that explains all this with a little more details.

Feel safe to experiment, it won't break your existing b2 blog until you explicitely delete it by hand!

i was looking at it. much confuzing. anyway, i think there should be an option to update to a livejournal. just a thought, but i would really like to have that.

Why would you want to do this? I keep my site and livejournal seperate... That's the point of having two journals, yes?
