Mena's photos.

Mena Trott (of Movable Type fame) posted an very nice set of photos from her trip to Japan and some interesting weblog entries as well.

Andy: it's not a bug, it's a feature.

I had to laugh when I saw the post on Matt Croydon's site, especially since it was my fault. The basic problem here is that Roller weblog entries are run through Velocity before they are displayed. I added this feature so that user's could use Roller macros within weblog posts to do things like displaying images. Now I'm thinking that Velocity is overkill. Velocity is perfect for the Roller page templates, but for the weblog posts themselves? Lance's "hotwords" idea is probably more appropriate.
