Hi, no, Apache Roller is for blogs and only blogs. Webpage authoring
software is outside of its scope. However, when you say "conventional
website", you're primarily saying static (hardcoded) HTML pages which
can be placed in a specified location ( dependent on the HTTP Server or
servlet container you're using) and retrieved directly from a browser.
If you're using Tomcat, for example, and you place a sample html page in
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/roller/test.html you should be able to retrieve the
HTML at http://localhost:8080/roller/test.html (that is, providing you
have roller deployed there). The user mailing list for whatever server
you're using can provide more detailed help.

Hello,
I am a new user. I have installed Roller successfully and created my
first test weblog. If you like you can see that test weblog here
<rtest.richard-o-hammer.org/r/>.
I imagine that I will use Roller to host a few conventional web
sites. By this I mean not a blog, but the typical website of an
organization. Such a typical website has a home page (or portal)
which is the root of a tree of pages, pages which are mostly static.
Is Roller suited for such a website?
I imagine that Roller must be suited for use on a conventional
website. But I have read through the Roller User Guide and the
Template Guide. These seem to be all about blogs, as opposed to
conventional websites. So I am not sure.
Later on I expect I will use Roller for a website more like a blog.
But my first priority is get my webmastering duties out of the 20th
century, to stop editing my HTML directly in a text editor.
Thank you,
