I too prefer advance notice, although I recognise that the "Looking Ahead" section kind of addresses that.

But it makes it confusing where people should look for the information, and I believe this will cause many duplicated discussions between "this" and "last" week. (Not that this doesn't occur already, but this makes it worse.)

For instance, when a user notices something change on Tuesday, they will have no place to post about it except last week's blog post, and may receive an answer. Then, when the new post is posted, mentioning Tuesday's changes, it is likely the question will be asked again. Duplicate discussions aren't always bad, but it would be easier to follow - both for users and Staff - if all the discussions about each week's changes were in the same place.

A Tuesday blog post about "Today's updates which just went live, and Thursday's planned updates" (then an edit when Thursday's update occurs) might work a little better - but I'm not sure how convenient that would be for you. I imagine there is probably a reason behind moving the blog post from Tuesday to Wednesday.

The "Looking Ahead" section for big updates would still be a good idea in that case too.
