in your opinion and experience, which blogging tool do you prefer?
right now im building a site and im leaning towards wordpress...just for the sole reason that it looks very easy to install. but is b2 better feature-wise?

wordpress is easier to install and has more features, but b2 is easier to skin in my opinion

wordpress. b2 is really really really old. wordpress is easyer to use in my opinion. the only problem with wordpress is that you have to install a couple anti-spam plugins to prevent those spammers from spamming you like crazy.

yes, wordpress have a problem about spam comment
i use wordpress because my blog use thai language in my blog
is b2 can't support thai language...

i don't use comment in wordpress but i use 'chatbox'
so.. i don't have a problem about spam comment =]

i think, wordpress have big community than b2
and have a many plug-in

wordpress. easier for me.

well there practically the same, i used both but i prefer b2...

how do u install it? i download it and have no clue how to use it

there's a read me in the folder....and links to alot of other helpful sites

does both of those things require mysql?

Development on b2 has ceased and has been merged with WordPress. (In other words, b2 became Wordpress, and is no longer available as a separate product.)
