To get started, we’ll make a hierarchy that simplifies those categories into 5 groups that basically match 5 types of users. Once we get that quick win we can then look at the content in the categories and combine information in the different topics to condense the content into fewer topics. I figured I could have that done in a week with a lot of buffer.

When I added the theme to my repo, the site built right away. Great, finally something that worked smoothly! I showed the result to my boss and we agreed that there was a lot of hope here.

I scheduled it on a Sunday to minimize disruption, of cours I finally merged the changes from my side-branch into the master branch and things went pretty smoothly. Some tweaks were required but nothing so bad that I needed to rollback again. Unfortunately, a few more days of struggle with redirections of old URLs using AWS S3 only brought frustration. Then, I found that I could add an alias to each page so that Hugo published HTML files at the old URL locations to redirect to the new URLs. I can safely say that was the final step that brought the project to a successful conclusion. ![New Cloudify docs](../../images/cloudify/new-cloudify-docs.png) +([New Cloudify Docs Site](https://docs.cloudify.co/)) ## Success at last! diff --git a/images/ben-mansheim.jpg b/images/ben-mansheim.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..68c30ec2 Binary files /dev/null and b/images/ben-mansheim.jpg differ
