How do I tag?

Before you can tag a post, you have to create it, and ‘save’ it at least once. When you edit your post, look on the right column for cafebabel tags. There are several kinds of tags, related to geography, directories and subjects. All of them are identified by colorful symbols. If you don’t find a tag that corresponds to your article you can create it yourself. The symbol will be a red mark.

In order to bring up a post on our special site dedicated to the EU parliamentary elections www.EUdebate2009.eu, please use one of the twelve EUdebate tags. Your article will pop-up automatically on the EUD main page as well as on cafebabel.com.

Let’s get horizontal - make tagging your sport!

babelsnapper: calling photographers

Writers, translators, local city teams and bloggers have shaped cafebabel.com over the last seven years. Now we open a new chapter with the contributions from photographers. Arguably the most babelian of all contributors, they catch in one visual image where parts of Europe are today, move more often beyond invisible borders and speak in one language that doesn’t need translating.

Take pictures for us on mission in Seville, Vilnius, Cologne, Lyon, Budapest, Prague, Paris …

You and your lens can be going on a feature mission with us in 2009 with one of our six editors and three other journalists. Our project “EU Debate On the Ground” takes place monthly and is hosted by a cafebabel.com city team. Cafebabel.com pays your travel, accommodation and fixing costs for an exclusive article to be published in a special city edition in the magazine

Like the gastronomy section? The politics section? The world section? Culture, society, interviews, sports ...
