New Penguin Time's Finished, I just need help with one other thing

[James Colannino]

Well, first of all, after hearing the suggestions of multiple mailing 
lists on the topic of webrings, I definately will not be using those.  I 
have all my meta tags in place, the site's layout is finished, along 
with a nice but compact masterhead logo, a new font (the one that I have 
seen on many large news websites) and now I just need to start 
collecting content.

That's where my next question comes in.  I desperately need people who 
are willing to write articles, tutorials, etc. for the magazine, whether 
they be one time contributors or volunteers to be regular writers for 
the online mag.  I'm at kind of a stand still.  I've asked many 
semi-major Linux websites if they would be willing to announce my site 
to the public to help me get an initial following, and so far, the only 
response I have gotten (from distro-watch.com) is "sure, I'd love to. 
But I want to see some content first."  And I completely understand 
that.  It's just that I need to get people's attention to the site so I 
can get contributors, and I can't do that without promotion and 
announcements, and I can't get that from so far, at least one website, 
without content in the first place.  If anybody here on the list would 
be willing to submit some content for me to use, it would be deeply 
appreciated.  I am more than willing to link to the websites of any 
contributors that ask for it, although I admit I would like to keep 
everything as clean from ads as possible.  Hopefully I can collect 
enough content to put together a first issue, and then hopefully I can 
start getting people to come.

Thanks again everyone.
