Website integration

While b2evolution can be used as a standalone blogging platform, it is also designed to be used as a blog/news/content manager to be embedded in a larger site.
For example, our website - b2evolution.net - itself uses b2evolution for several sections such as the news blog, the screenshots browser or even the donors listings.
Yet, other parts of the site are just static pages or even pages generated by other software such as phpBB for the forums or MediaWiki for this Wiki Manual.
Achieving this basically only requires 2 steps:

1. Anchor a b2evolution blog to one or more specific location(s) of your website through the use of stub files.
2. Adapt the look & feel of your b2evolution blogs in order to match the rest of your site by customizing a skin.

For advanced users, those two steps can be further combined into one by using a "noskin" template (such as a_noskin.php) instead of a stub file above.
