I think this is a workable hack, but don't personally believe that this
fits the bill as I'd imagine it.  The high-level visibility of the
Kantara Blog is what's more valuable to promoting the specific work
product agendas.  It's likely that more people will see this than the
Confluence blogs per group.

Also, it looks like Britta is the author of Robin's posts.  Even though
his name's in the text, it's not tagged as the author in a common way
(meaning that some indexing services won't recognize it).

This appears a more useful idea than what we have now, but the question
is how we feed the posts.
