I’m still working on streamlining this latest revision of Rollator; it’s at least 4x faster than prior versions (in realtime testing), due to massive rewrites of the underlying logic, and condensing functions.

Those of you three people who actually read these articles might notice that I’ve transitioned into proper table bullets for the ‘left tables’ on the front page, as well as with the integrated search functions.

I’ve removed the ‘last month’ and ‘next month’ tabs from the calendar at the top of the page; to much chagrin – It was a fun thing to tab about and see how active I’ve been over various months, but it was using up yet more precious real estate upon the screen.

I’ve added a few other customizations and optimizations; I’m thinking of creating sub-trees, thus breaking up my software page even further, by OS, type of application, et al.

All in all, I’m quite happy how things are turning out; Rollator is roughly 140k with the following existing functionale in my current ‘unreleased’ revision:

• It’s simple. It’s quite capable for users of all technical levels, from general blogging to ‘power coders’, with support for inline PHP functionale.
• Keen Editing Interface. Featuring an (optional) WSYISWG editor, easily browsable entry, file upload and flatfile editor, etc..
• Support for XML-RPC: Supports WebLogs and Blo.gs XML-RPC.
• It’s entirely dynamic. You don’t need to constantly wait while it regenerates pages. Caching is dynamically managed, so you don’t need to worry about it when publishing your weblog. Optional advanced URL rewriting rules are available to make everything pretty.
• Multiple Databases. With my trivial abstraction layer, Rollator supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and (will support) SQLlite databases.
• Integrated “QuickLogs” and “Music” blogging. Trvial API, which is easily used from virtually all platforms allow users to log their musical selections, bookmark web pages, et al.
• File Manager. Rollator touts a full external file manager for software engineers, keeping statistics of downloads, managing files and their signatures, and optionally run-time testing checksums to ensure files match stored signatures.
• Multiple Users. Multiple users can edit and administrate the weblog.
• Standards Compliant. Rollator generates XHTML 1.1, CSS 2.0, and RSS 2.0 feeds.

You can see that I’ve put quite a bit of time into this. I’m still working diligently in regards to cleaning up the entire structure and making it a full ‘upload and use’ system.
