<p dir="ltr">I like it. At first I thought "$EXPLETIVE, I hope this isn't suggesting we pipe the planet feed into the Magazine just to have more content!". Weekly features is ideal. It wouldn't be a good idea to lean too heavily on a small group of bloggers though, even if their posts are consistently more suited to the venue.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Something like "*New* Package of the Week" would be interesting too. It would have the side benefit of being more likely to include and involve newly sponsored packagers.</p>
