Hey there, dear readers:

Wanted to give y'all a heads up about a new format we're bringing to the blog. In an effort to ensure we have new content every day, we're going to launch daily standing features that will appear each week.

As you may have noticed, Lisa Rossi has started putting together Music Mondays (yes, I'm a sucker for alliteration) where she highlights an artist from our local music scene.

I'm going to start profiling the good work of a local nonprofit every Tuesday. (Urban Ministries of Durham is coming tomorrow!)

Arturo will continue sharing his best finds every week in Wine Wednesdays.

Iesha Brown will continue bringing you the hottest weekend events every Thursday.

And Lisa and Iesha will team up to bring you Fashion Fridays each week. The first installment will feature the new fair trade college apparel business School House Ethical Fashion.

To be clear, this will not be the be all and end all of our blog content. We'll continue to bring you news and notes from around our city as they happen. This is mostly an effort to widen the reach of our blog and ensure we have something for our faithful readers every single day. We'll do our best to post each of these daily features first thing every morning. Hope you'll check it out.

Most importantly, we'd like to hear from you. Got a suggestion for any of these features or anything else? Please let us know. I can be reached at mattdees@durhammag.com

Thanks so much for reading.
