InnoDB tables are an option when you install Geeklog. To change an existing installation, use the script located in public_html/admin/install/toinnodb.php

Of course, you should know what you're doing when you switch to InnoDB tables ...

To put it bluntly: If you have to ask, you shouldn't use InnoDB.

It's really only useful for big sites with a lot of traffic. The downside is that it makes it harder to get a consistent database backup (in fact InnoDB, now owned by Oracle, are selling a backup utility just for that reason).
