Right, that's something I didn't really consider. Thinking about it now, I think it's worth considering though. What advantages and disadvantages do you think they'd be for integrating this in to the website? For advantages, I can think of: - Easier to have a consistent visual style - Easier to provide a combined Atom feed for regular and weekly posts As for disadvantages: - Might make the website more complicated, doing partially automated weekly news stuff as well I know you've worked with the website lots, so I'd be really interested in your thoughts on how best to manage this. It would be interesting to get the input of others who've worked on the website as well (maybe Ludo?).
