I noticed that I've been pretty unwilling to type in titles because of its poor positioning. Yes, Michel, don't dispute that, UIs ARE very dependent on the placement of the different elements. It took Windows so many years to realise that the Recycle Bin (from NeXTSTEP) belongs not in the middle of the left side of the desktop but the bottom right corner. Bring back the Title column right above the Post box, please. And turn Auto-BR back on by default. Such little things don't merit a big mention, but go a long deal in UI-friendliness.

What is b2 ?
A classy news/weblog tool (aka logware).

How does it work ?
You type something and hit "blog this" and in the next second it's on your page(s). You can write extended entries, or even entries that span multiple pages. You can also use BloggerAPI clients to post to your b2 weblog.
What's original in b2 ? Pages are generated dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy 'rebuilding' is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your news in different 'templates' without any hassle.

Requirements ?
A server that can run PHP4, and a MySQL database (you can install b2 in an already existing database, and you can put several b2's in one database).

Where can I download it ?
b2 0.6 is the latest public release.
You can also visit the CVS server for the latest code, at your own risks.
See the ReadMe file for requirements and installation instructions.
