Happy Thursday. BBC blogs now require registration to leave comments, which seems to be a fix to many of the issues contributors have had in the past with posting comments on their system. If it works, it should improve things mightily for William and the host of other bloggers on the BBC sites. As I remarked to Stephen recently, these blogs should have hundreds of comments logging on their posts; the traffic should be huge, since they’re part of the official BBC website! Hopefully that will now be the case, although nothing’s working for me yet.

(I also happened to click on the Rules page. Holy hell. Welcome to 21st century Britain.)
