Roller goes live! rollerweblogger.org is up and running now and so is Roller.

Still waiting on CQHost...  CQHost said they would upgrade to Resin 2.1.1 on Tuesday. It is now Thursday morning and they are still running production servers on the Resin 2.1.s020430 experimental snapshot. I feel just like Charlie Brown.  I have until June 20 to ask for my money back, I wonder if they will fix this in time.

Shawn Dahlen has implemented the Blogger API for Roller and he tested his implementation by using the w.bloggar blogger client to post to Roller.  Shawn used Apache XML-RPC to do this work. What an awesome new feature for the upcoming 0.9.3 release - this is great!

Now, on to CQHost.  For a brief time yesterday, I was able to run Roller on CQHost.  There were some glitches but things seemed to work, for a while.  Then everything became slow, then the server appeared to crash.  Now I can't run any Servlets or JSPs at all.  So, I'm stuck again.
