<p>By default, blogs are displayed using an evoskin. (More on skins in another post.)</p>

<p>This means, blogs are accessed through '<code>index.php</code>', which loads default parameters from the database and then passes on the display job to a skin.</p>

<p>Alternatively, if you don't want to use the default DB parameters and want to, say, force a skin, a category or a specific linkblog, you can create a stub file like the provided '<code>a_stub.php</code>' and call your blog through this stub instead of index.php .</p>

<p>Finally, if you need to do some very specific customizations to your blog, you may use plain templates instead of skins. In this case, call your blog through a full template, like the provided '<code>a_noskin.php</code>'.</p>

<p>If you want to integrate a b2evolution blog into a complex website, you'll probably want to do it by copy/pasting code from <code>a_noskin.php</code> into a page of your website.</p>

<p>You will find more information in the stub/template files themselves. Open them in a text editor and read the comments in there.</p>

<p>Either way, make sure you go to the blogs admin and set the correct access method/URL for your blog. Otherwise, the permalinks will not function properly.</p>
