ahh, good point, that should be textfield. i can commit that to the current trunk if that's what you are working from, but if you already have an installation or are working from a specific release you can do this ...

open the file under WEB-INF/classes/rollerRuntimeConfigDefs.xml and look for the "property-def" element which has the name "site.description". inside that element you will see that the value specified for <type> is "string" and you should just need to change that to "text". you can also add new elements for <rows> and <cols> so at the end it would look like this ...

<property-def name="site.description" key="configForm.siteDescription">
         <type>text</type>
<default-value>A default install of the Roller Weblogger open source blog server</default-value>
         <rows>7</rows>
         <cols>40</cols>
      </property-def>

that should do the trick.

I was wondering, how do i make the server "description" field a textarea
in server administration, on the config page?  I found the template that
defines the boolean, string, text choices as what looks like a
generalized template.  Is this defined in configuration somewhere?
