Blogging Roller: Running Roller 3.0-dev

Running Roller 3.0-dev

We deployed Roller 3.0 to blogs.sun.com last week and over the weekend I deployed it on this site as well. There are still a couple of "issues" that need to be addressed before we package up Apache Roller 3.0-RC1 (incubating). If you click around the site, you may notice a couple of style and layout clitches -- I'm working on fixing those.

One of the new features of Roller 3.0 is a completely redesigned URL scheme. As a result of that my blog URL, feed URLs and permalinks have changed.

New bog URL:
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller

New feed URLs:
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/feed/entries/atom

Old URLs are still suppored by they're redirected (HTTP 301) to the new scheme, so those of you who subscribe to Blogging Roller won't have to unsub and resub -- your feed readers should do that for you.

Dave, Not sure if you are aware, but when I read your blog from Bloglines the links in your post are often wrong because they are relative to the rollerweblogger site. For example, the link to "What's new in Roller 3.0" links to

http://www.bloglines.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Roller_3.0_WhatsNew

I just renewed my subscription using the new feed URL and the situation is the same. Just thought that you might want to know. Keep up the great work on Roller. cheers, Jeff

Thanks Jeff. That's a side-effect, or maybe bug is better word, of using the RTE editor. I need to figure out how to force it to always create absolute URLs.
