  • BBC blogs with Flickr

    Something else I’ve spotted on the various BBC blogs… they’re starting to use Flickr.com to host photo galleries. (I say ‘starting’… I’ve only just noticed. Maybe it’s been going on for ages.) They’re trying out several different implementations – here, here and here.

    Incidentally… I think I’m right in saying that the Beeb’s blogs are no longer being hosted at Typepad. Certainly a tracert on blogs.bbc.co.uk seems to take you to a BBC server… and the disclaimer about comments being held elsewhere seems to have been dropped from the page footers.

      It does look like they have moved onto BBC servers. Nick Robinson’s blog talked about the problem of comments being in different places on the hosting grid and the resulting latency between the number shown on the index page and those on the post pages. See
