All existing recipes on The BBC Food website – more than 11,000 of them – will be archived, although the commercial BBC Good Food website will remain.
The archived recipes won’t be linked or optimised so will be hard to find online. Some may move over to the Good Food website but the BBC said a final decision over what goes where will be made over the next twelve months.
File this as an example of how content, valuable content created and curated by humans can be forgotten. The recipes will exist as long as the BBC website exists but will exist in a way that most people w/o a perms-link saved will be unable to find them.
Anyone that creates content that they care about. What do you do to ensure the things you create are available forever in perpetuity? Do you care that the things you create will be ever-lasting? The reason I copy bits of text from articles I link to is because if you go back to my linked articles from 2010 (the year I started doing this format of linking), most of the links are dead. It’s kind of a shame.
