Blogging Roller

Roller doesn't yet provide a blog export facility, but you can do just about anything with Roller templates if you know what you're doing. For example, Debashish Chakrabarty explains how to use Roller templates to generate the RSS required to move a blog from Roller to Wordpress. He was able to get all of his blog entries and all comments out of JRoller.com this way, he imported his entries to his new Wordpress blog, but he couldn't find a way to import the comments.

As Josh points out, a US congressman showed up at our last meetup. Which local blognitary could it be this time? John Edwards? Maybe Mark Pilgrim will appear to announce his return to blogging. Or maybe it'll be Dr. Jim Goodnight, who'll ask how to get his employees blogging about SAS Institute products (did you hear the news?) instead of IBM ones.
