Congratulations to Susan Frye, winner of two Thinkbaby BPA-Free Feeding Sets in our December ZRecs Newsletter giveaway. Susan, email your mailing address to us at editors (at) zrecs (dot) com and we'll pass it on to the company for fulfillment. Big thanks to Thinkbaby for sponsoring this giveaway - they produce a truly fabulous feeding set.

About that newsletter: We never sent out a December newsletter, and from the looks of things we may not send one out for January, either. We are revamping the format and content of our newsletter mailings to make them, well, really good. When we started our monthly newsletter we weren't yet doing weekly link roundups, and we included a lot of links to the best posts on ZRecs Network blogs from the previous month. Future newsletters will be very short, and punchy, with must-read, insider material and stuff you won't want to miss; we're taking cues from the few "must-read" newsletters we don't dare unsubscribe from, and we'll judge our success by our "open" rates over the next few cycles, beginning with a fresh newsletter arriving in your inbox on Feb. 1.

And! In other news blackouts, we are currently laying the groundwork for a couple of developments here at ZRecs that we're very excited about, which is why we've been dark for the last few days. Expect reviews and commentary for the remainder of the week, and by week's end, we hope to be ready with the first of several announcements that will knock your socks off. We live to surprise you, in a good way!
