JEB - Junularo Esperantista Brita

JEB's website is designed to be a rich platform for sharing and contributing all sorts of content in or about Esperanto. In previous incarnations of the website, the Forum was used as the primary means of sharing content. That's no longer true; the new forum is intended primarily for discussion and chat. If you want to write an article to provide information, as opposed to discussion, it needs to go on the blog.

If you want to read blog posts - that's easy, just go to the blog front page. You can narrow down the types of blog content you're looking at by selecting the menu entries on the left. It's also possible to subscribe to our blog in a feed reader - just paste in the URL of the blog page and your reader should find the feeds automatically.

To create a blog post, start by choosing "Create Content" from the top-right menu, then select "Blog entry". Fill in a title and body, just like for a forum post. However, you'll also need to select which blog category you want your post to fit into; to help you decide, here's a brief summary of what goes where:

Your Personal Blog is, as the name suggests, a space for you to write whatever you like. Generally we would assume that these would be related to Esperanto, but that's not necessarily mandatory.

Useful Help is for useful information about Esperanto - generally linguistic issues, like grammar rules, thematic vocabulary posts, and so on.

Common Errors is an extension of Useful Help, and is specifically about words that are often confused, or that English speakers often get wrong.

Event Reports are where you can put a report about any Esperanto event you've been to. Whether it's a JEB event, a big international congress, or just a meetup of friends, you can write about it here.

Esperanto News is - surprisingly enough - for news about the Esperanto movement.

Another thing to note with blogs is that you can create a summary - this appears on the blog view, and the visitor is invited to click through to the rest of the article. To create this, place the cursor after the text you want to appear as the summary (generally the first paragraph), and click the "split summary at cursor" button.
