It's not so hard really - when you've pasted your blog in (and I'd start with a recent one, not making it part of the same job as publishing a new one) just delete all the techy bits, then polish what's left to introduce the user to the new ideas. Don't worry too much about formatting - we can edit that for you. As for navigation, we have a simple model in UserBase. Applications are just one level down, so Plasma is http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma. :-) You know you’d love to contribute to our user documentation.

I'd write my blog post, publish it... then log into userbase, find my page, create a page there, copy&paste my blog post in there and hope the formatting isn't too badly broken, then find the plasma pages (have I mentioned I find it hard to navigate our wikis?), look for somewhere appropriate-ish, edit that page and add a link to the new page I'd created? meh... effort... so… I’d write my blog post, publish it… then log into userbase, find my page, create a page there, copy&paste my blog post in there and hope the formatting isn’t too badly broken, then find the plasma pages (have I mentioned I find it hard to navigate our wikis?), look for somewhere appropriate-ish, edit that page and add a link to the new page I’d created?

If you type http://userbase.kde.org/User:Chani you can use that page any way you choose - I use mine as a scratch-pad. Go one step further, and type http://userbase.kde.org/User:Chani/Blogs - and you will get a clean page into which you can paste one of your blogs. You can then edit it any way that's needed to turn it into a user-centric blog. At that point, assuming that it is about Plasma and Activities, you'd look at /Plasma#Activities_and_Virtual_Desktops and /Plasma#Further_information and decide where you want to create a link to a new page where you will paste in the new version of your blog. You may want to drop in to #kde-www if you are unsure of that part - we can help you with the practicalities. It's actually much easier than it sounds. Notice, too, that the existing entry on Activities was surely written by a developer, for forgot that "Use Cases" is not a term that most users will find familiar :-) @Chani:
