Originally our plan was to have a weekly newsletter, but we decided to use the approach Useless Warrior suggests after wading through many mailings from other programs that were full of news we couldn't use.

The schedule we use now is to send out a mailing whenever we know something that our affiliates don't know. Maybe new sites, new galleries, promo materials, tour options, or whatever else might have changed or been added. We may include something else in the newsletter, but unless we have a "they don't know about this," we don't send one out.

Regarding including pre-coded links in the newsletter, we don't do that because we really thought that most link list owners would want to use our admin tool to get a nice importable list with all the information in any order they wanted it.

We're open to the idea of including pre-coded urls, and with our new hosted galleries we could certainly do that, but on our hosted free sites it's hard to figure out how to put the rest of the information in the newsletter in a format that would work for everyone.
