Re: Re-directing blog entries

Hi Michael

Thanks for the response. I now realise that I didn't explain it very well :-)=
 so will try again.

A standard Roller blog entry looks like this=20
https://blogs.apache.org/maven/entry/apache-maven-3-8-5

It's plain text etc and the Roller interface allows you to simply write it, p=
review it and post it.=20

My question is how can Cloudstack create a Roller blog that looks like this
https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/entry/meet-the-community-slavka-peleva=20

It's not plain text at all.

And the reason I asking the question is that Cassandra doesn't currently have=
 Roller blog but they have been publishing regular blog updates on their webs=
ite. Since they are so active it could be good for their blog entries to be i=
ncorporated into the overall Apache ones.

If a Roller blog was created for Cassandra could we create entries that point=
 to the existing blog entries on the website. For example
https://cassandra.apache.org/_/blog/Inside-Cassandra-an-interview-with-Projec=
t-Contributor-Lorina-Poland.html

Perhaps it has nothing to do with re-direction and I hope my question is clea=
rer this time around :-)

Thanks
Sharan
