Blojsom Mailing Lists

Mailing Lists - Confluence

Ok, here's where support is!

WordPress: A bit more support than most

This is really the wild west.

Blojsom: Blogging client setup

Blogging client setup - Confluence

I've been trying to figure out why it's hard to answer obvious questions about Blojsom, such as how does one #$@ post.

The answer seems to be:

1. This is a really new project. This page was updated 9/22.

2. Since OS X Tiger has incorporated Blojsom that's probably taken a lot of resources.

3. The author is working on 'Confluence' which seems to be a commercial derivative of Blojsom.

Anyway, I'm still looking for a bookmarklet, but I'm beginning to suspect the blogger BlogThis! bookmarklet could be reworked to handle Blojsom. Except if it were that easy, why can't I find a hundred examples?

The Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5 Servlet/JSP Container - Tomcat Setup on Windows

The Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5 Servlet/JSP Container - Tomcat Setup

These are not super user friendly web sites. I assume the download package ending in .exe is the windows installer package :-).

Blojsom quick start

blojsom Quickstart - Confluence

1. Install latest version of JRE from www.java.com (1.4.2)
2. Install Tomcat
3. Drop WAR file into Tomcat.

Start.

UPDATE: In order for the blog to display on any machine but the one it's installed on, you have to configure the URL in the weblog settings with the fully specified name. Otherwise you get part of the blog -- but no style sheets. Looks ugly.

Defaults to port 8080. I need to figure out how to change that to port 80.

I'm figuring out what blog tool to use and looking for a bookmarklet or firefox extension.

This looks very intriguing.
