Each time it includes multiple sections: (A blog post, studio event listings, links to resources on the website, links to new YouTube videos and Photographs and information about how they are produced such as Photo of the Day or Stock Sales). I'd like to make the newsletter schedule a little less 'erratic' if you had a choice which of the following would you prefer? (You can select multiple)

Twice a week with only ONE section in each newsletter

Once a week with one or two sections in each newsletter

Fortnightly with three or four sections in each newsletter

Monthly with as many sections as are available
