Roller seems to be coming along
I finally have to move my blog from it’s current location (courtesy of Hard Core Gamers) to my home server.
I chose movable type as my current blogging engine because it could be very unintrusive. I just untarred the distribution, changed a few permissions and I was go. However on my home PC, I’m able to do whatever I want and I’m very interested in roller.
I used the source of roller to teach myself struts and general design techniques so it seems logical. With the addition of TrackBack it sounds like a lovely option.
PersonalBlog looks cool too, maybe I need to try them both out…
Do any java.bloggers have some advice. I’d definitely prefer to use a Java solution, I have MySQL available but prefer PostgreSQL or some kind of file based storage.

There’s blojsom (http://blojsom.sf.net) if you’re interested. It’s Java-based. No database required as it works off the filesystem. Plugin API. Configurable presentation technology support (JSP and Velocity out of the box – someone has done a FreeMarker dispatcher). Remote posting via XML-RPC (Blogger API and MetaWeblog API supported). Comment and trackback support (e-mail comments and trackbacks as well). But I’ll let you read more on the website.
Check out some blogs “powered by” blojsom.
