Vuvuzelas, iPhones and a stuffed toy tiger; our first week.

Pictures from popular blogs from our first week.

It’s been a rollercoaster week for our relaunched blogs. After some painful downtime on day one (and for that, apologies), we’ve recovered to deliver some fantastic posts, in my humble opinion, on subjects as diverse and timely as the vuvuzela, BP, London’s graduate fashion week and many more. And in turn, we garnered some nice coverage from the folks over at journalism.co.uk and even the mighty Wordpress itself. So without further ado, here are our top ten posts (by views) of our first week;

1. From San Francisco: Hands on with the iPhone 4 – David Phelan

2. The hell of the vuvuzela – Neil Forsyth

3. Just how British is BP? – Ben Chu

4. Stubbing out Egypt’s cigarettes – Archie Bland

5. Unlisted: Stuffed toy triggers tiger scare – Toby Green

6. Last last word on Trident – John Rentoul

7. Econoblog: BP could be forced out of America – Sean O’Grady

8. A spherical history of the World Cup – Archie Bland

9. Word Cup: Vuvuzela causing a noise on the web – Simon Rice

10. The lingering shame of Bhopal - Andrew Buncombe

It’s worth noting that posts from a week ago have obviously had more time to get hits than the newer offerings (hence nothing from the last day). Any thoughts of yours on how it’s going, things you’d like to see any more or less of, or any issues technical or editorial that you’re having with the new system, drop a comment in the box below; we’d be delighted to hear from you.
