We want more than your photo!

Eddie Mair | 16:45 UK time, Friday, 12 October 2007

Hello

Welcome to the iPM blog.

The chances are you're here to see photos taken by PM listeners, portraying their sense of self. To see them, just click on the "ipm gallery" on the right. But HANG ON!

Can I take a moment to explain why we're interested in this "i" business?

iPM is a brand new blog and a brand new programme on BBC Radio 4.

The iPM Blog is up and running right now - you're looking at it. The iPM programme starts on Saturday November the 10 at 17.30 GMT. It'll also be a podcast so don't worry if Saturday teatimes are a bad time for you.

It's iPM because each weekly radio programme will have its content formed by YOU. The programme isn't about the internet or technology. It's simply a more individual, interactive news and current affairs programme. The content of the programme will be shaped by what happens here on the iPM Blog.

There's a full explanation here. Please feel free to have a rummage around this page and all the links on it. Meet the team - especially Mr Blog – who’ll make the programme happen.

There will be lots going on here from now on. We'd love you to read us regularly. Better still, we'd love you to take part.

Eddie

Purely as an experiment, I wonder whether this is working better than the PM blog.

Good grief! This blog is less than 12 hours old and already there are 6 threads! Which do I comment in first?!?!?!

Oh, might as well do the obligatory:

First Sent: 19:14, SB3

Ho hum, no response after 30s. It might be a new blog, it might use the new Radio 4 logo, but underneath the makeover it looks as though it's powered by the same hamsters as the frog...

Second attempt: 19:17
Abandoned after 3 mins without progress or 502
Third attempt: 19:20 (502'd!)
Fourth attempt: 19:30

Nice to see my first post (finally) got through - despite 502-ing like crazy...

Topic for discussion:
After having wrecked the PM blog (on numerous occasions) and now the iPM blog (on its first day!) - which BBC blog shall we destroy next? :)

IS this one working?
Have enjoyed looking at the photos & people's comments. It's especially good as you can comment & they can reply! People have taken the idea very differently, some are very arty and some very practical, it's a nice mixture.

I've heard the Blogs may be working again. So here I am. Or not.
