As-salaamu `alaykum,

First, I would like to apologize to both our writers and readers.  Myself and our editors have been extremely busy, but even that is no excuse for not maintaining this site.  We are planning to revamp the site (including some Muslim-targeted, unintrusive advertising) and creating a payment system for both our editors and writers, insha'Allah.  This is probably not something that will become any writer's full-time job, but it will give incentive, especially to editors, to keep up the hard work.  All of this will roll out this summer, insha'Allah.  So, stay tuned.
