h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

ok...so here's the thing. I am a shutterbug. I love taking pictures everywhere I go. While browsing through 'The Universe' section of the site I came across quite a few locations listed in the Edited Guide that not only have I been to but have pictures from. Now, this is my question. If it is possible, what is the best way for me to submit my photos to be included in the Edited Guide's entries (where appropriate of course).

Thanks for your time...

Well, that's kind of a tricky question... let me check things up and then get back to you, OK?

Cool beans! They can be warmed up though if you like.

But anyway, sounds good...look forward to hearing from ya...

The trouble is that in general, you're not allowed to use your own pictures/photos, see <./>DontPanic-Entries#7</.>

Some exceptions have been allowed, but those *are* exceptions rather than rule - the pictures/photos need to be relevant, and you have to guarantee that those photos have indeed been taken by you because of copyright issues.

hmm...so the easy workaround is to simply start a conversation and tell everyone that I have photos of the relevent topic somewhere on another site and offer a link to the site.

However, personally I would rather keep the user at the h2g2 website so...I would really like to know who I would have to talk to in order to...hmm...help out the h2g2 Art Department I suppose. I have read in a few places since my last post in this thread that h2g2 IS in the process of thinking about making it possible to upload images and so I would like to offer my services to help in the effort. What can be done? If nothing can be done at the moment then which h2g2 conversation should I subscribe to in order to stay informed on this subject?

Thanks again for your time...

I've forwarded the question to the people known as the 'Italics' (because their user names are tilting ) Since it's by now late Friday night (BST) we might not get an answer until office hours Monday May 9th...

hehe...the joys of office work. That's ok cuz in about a half hour I will be heading out of the office as well. Don't tell my boss though.

So the BBC is not in the business of hosting Phot-blogs. Yet.

Shame.

It would be perfect.
