b2evolution: version 0.9.0.11
Installation Procedure 
Quick Tips
The script can be downloaded from here.
The file that you will download is saved in .zip format; this is a compressed bundle containing the files in the distribution. Unzip this archive in a temporary directory on your computer using decompression software.
Start your FTP software and upload the directory to your web server preserving the file structure.
Note: Only the contents of the /blogs directory need to be uploaded to your site. If you want b2evolution to handle the homepage of your site, upload the contents of the /blogs folder to your website root (/var/www/html/). Otherwise, it's best to upload the files to a subdirectory of your web server. You can keep the /blogs subdirectory name, but you can also choose another.
Let's assume you install the contents of the blogs folder to http://www.mywebsite.com/blog
You need to edit _config.php to your settings before attempting to install the database!
Please use "127.0.0.1" for the DB Host.
Run the installation script on your server. It is located in http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/install . Then, simply follow the on screen instructions.
Select "New Install" and click "Go"
Congratulations, the installation of b2evolution is now complete.
Now you can login with the login "admin" and system generated random password.
On your server, it is recommended that you delete the /install subfolder.
In the /blogs folder as well as in /blogs/admin there are two files called [ sample.htaccess ] . You should try renaming those to [ .htaccess ] . This will optimize the way b2evolution is handled by the web server
How to get rid of the 'skinlist' in the sidebar?
In mosts standard skins there is a section that allows you to choose a skin. However, sometimes you don't want your users to switch skins.
To disable this, go to the backoffice > Blogs tab > General, and find 'Default display options'.
Uncheck: Allow skin switching
