And I can confirm that it is working, the full-post Atom feed is working, and I can author from Windows Live Writer 2011. (For that last, praise be!)
<https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/ooo_there_rsquo_s_a> It looks like the CSS needs some tweaking: the right side bar drops down depending on text width in the post content, the well-known CSS-blog-post bugaboo. I have to make by browser window pretty wide before the sidebar reappears adjacent to the content. I didn't enter anything that couldn't have line-wrapped sooner, so this is apparently somewhere in the styling. There are some differences between the Roller 5.0.0 documentation and how this blog is set up that would have been handy to know. When I saw that there were no options to switch between wysiwyg and raw HTML modes, I was pretty certain that I was looking at a browser edit window that expected raw HTML. It must be in the Apache chromosomes. That is what drove me to see if I could get Windows Live Writer to hook up. It managed to fish the styles from the site, but it was not able to connect with categories or tags. There might be ways to get that working, but I am content for now. The Facebook button works (need Google+ now too, I suppose). I didn't try the twitter button because that happens with a Live Writer plug-in I use. The aggregation into the https://blogs.apache.org page is working too. Next Exercise: See if the track-backs as comments work from elsewhere. - Dennis Ah: Small victories are such wonderful things.
