How about 'The Golden Field of Ideas'
It'll relate to those who remembered that these was all once just fields plus all the good picks are genuine ideas and explosion of our collective inventiveness.

Hmm....
'The place that is really friendly and fun, is run by Peta (though you may not know him yet [and you didn't see that name as it was just an illusion]) and it is a place where you can discuss enteries and add new stuff and you can find out about loads of places that you may never have visited.'
Hmm, a bit long I think.

Since a lot of the entries in The Picks are collaborative, I think "Your Help Wanted!!!" or something similar would be a good name.

People get all excited when they're pages are on Peta's Picks (at least I do) so why no emphasize with: LINKS OF THE WEEK
If that's a bit competitive sounding, you could go with
Guide to the Guide (abbrv. as G2H2G2)
The Unusual Suspects
Ford's Favorites (Newbies will recognize Ford, won't they?)
Out of the Blue
Lovely Links
World Wide Wonders
or, simply
CHECK THESE OUT!

It would help if there was some set idea of what exactly Peta's Picks are. Are they collaborative entries that need your help? Particularly interesting entries? Or what?
