What I appreciate about blogazines is that they require a lot more time, work and understanding of web design to make. Anyone can blog, but not everyone can create a blogazine with a unique design for each post. They're ideal for web designers who want to publish content and practice their skills simultaneously. @Melanie

Coupons and other print-related things might be more available with a layout like this that already has expectations and plans involving those things. I think, too, that informal layouts, like in many blogs, can scare unfamiliar users away. If what they are working with is familiar, more may participate.

But maybe nothing compared to what we load anyway these days, video, images etc. I don't know how much of a 'rise' there is in this style. 34 hits on technorati for the term blogazine and no data in Google Trends?
