Introducing: Automatic Linkbacks in Roller!

As you can see below under the "For further reading on today's posts" heading, I have completed work on Automatic Linkbacks. I'll tell you a little bit more about the implementation later, but right now is pizza time.

Completely specified or drop-dead simple.

Sam Ruby: Matt Croydon: Translating that into an XML-RPC call hurts my head. That's because the MetaWeblog API doesn't specify how to deal with required attributes.  Or with namespaces.  Or with nested XML elements...  Of couse, one could one by one address these items, and in the process reinvent XML.
It hurts my head too. I'd rather see a SOAP interface where everything is specified by WSDL, or a RESTLog-like interface where everything is drop-dead simple.

HEP as a Roller blogging client.

Saimon Moore describes how to setup HEP for RSS aggregation as as a blogging client to Roller via Roller's Blogger API support. Thanks Saimon.

Roller's first marriage proposal.

Found via Andy Oliver's blog. Is this to be followed closely by Roller's first court-ordered restraining order or a long-distance blogging relationship?
