The CBC’s new WordPress-powered official weblog. Neat. There are several articles cross-posted (actually, copied… annoying if you read both via their feeds, because the articles don’t share an ID and thus appear twice in aggregators) from honcho Tod Maffin’s iloveradio.org weblog so far, but a good selection of original stuff too.
There’s also a status blog. The blog is operating just fine now, though the editor is a bit under-caffeinated.
Cute… but not that cute. The system is down, yo. 🙂
Update, 23:21: Ooh, first real disappointment: the RSS feed is summary-only. Is that a deliberate choice, Tod, or just an oversight in the WP config?
Update, 01:40: Gotta love the web. I added the previous update to this post less than two hours ago and Tod’s already found it and responded. That’s Phil Ringnalda-esque speed. 🙂
Canada Day 2006 update: I posted this as a comment on Inside the CBC, but I think it’s worth repeating here:
More than just blog content for individual shows, it’d be great to see more bloggers from within CBC as a whole. My Planet CBC aggregator site has picked up the personal “outside” blogs written by and associated with CBC folk, many of which are linked in Tod’s sidebar, but I’d love to see something like the Google Blog (and its spawn) or, ideally, a wide-ranging, open set of employee blogs like blogs.sun.com, which is “accessible to any Sun employee to write about anything.” (Heck, Sun even has their own Planet site, which links to internal and external employee feeds.)
