In the next to last item under News:
i. The link goes to a generic (and crowded) Dailymotion page.
ii. Should “On the Steel Breeze” be deleted?
The Daily Motion news was from a press release — couldn’t find a direct link.
I must have Alastair Reynolds on the brain!
Although the “Portal” Web series will be hosted by Dailymotion, it is being produced by Future Artists, which offers a fairly detailed description (including stills and a link to the Dailymotion page where the videos will appear) here:

This might be a good place to point the link.
Excellent! Post updated. Thanks!
