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 
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, 
preview it and post it. 

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 

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 
website. Since they are so active it could be good for their blog entries to be 
incorporated 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-Project-Contributor-Lorina-Poland.html

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

Thanks
Sharan
