Thanks for your help Dave, however that wasn't what I was needing.
I wanted some content within a Roller template to be pulled in externally so
that the same template could be applied to many weblogs but with differing
content. However, in this instance I didn't want the content to be a blog
entry but more like a standard html page describing that particular blogger.
The solution that I found to work was:
## Inlcude about this blog content here
## Place a file called 'weblog.vm', where weblog is the handle of the
weblog
## on the server within:
Tomcat\webapps\roller\WEB-INF\velocity\AboutPages
#include( "AboutPages/${model.weblog.handle}.vm" )
Therefore this will pull in the contents of *.vm where the * must be the
same as the handle of the particular weblog. The only problem with this
solution is that there must be a .vm file for each weblog otherwise you
receive an error.
