. . . we are finally getting close to wrapping up some behind-the-scenes changes—including the unveiling (yes, at long last) of our Raw Collection and online social community. To that end, we have finished updating to the new generation of WordPress and are becoming fairly comfortable with BuddyPress, following plenty of experiments, trials, and errors! That only leaves a few finishing touches on our blog site and some additional testing of the new community site; we expect to go live with it by the end of September 2010.
By the way, if you are interested in helping us test the community site, please contact theGayEditor. We could still use a couple more authors and a few more participants to serve as guinea pigs!
Thanking you for just a few more weeks of patience,

If any group of people has felt the roller coaster ride of the American economy over the past two years—and experienced its effects on small business—that group would have to include each and every one of you. We appreciate your patience and fully expect to begin moving quite a bit faster in the coming months. Thankfully, our three primary investors are still hanging in there with us, still helping us weather what we all hope are the final hills of that uncomfortable ride and the first of more enjoyable times.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be unveiling a couple of major developments. One is the online publication of our first material, our “Raw” Collection, which will consist of unedited, unformatted original submissions. We will start posting those pieces in December. The other development is the announcement of our two final vendors for handling subscriptions and secure pages. We anticipate that these two events will occur simultaneously; doing so will provide the components we’ll need to solicit your input on selection of the final vendor.
So, start getting anxious! But, not too much: for the most part, we are now—for the time-being—a volunteer organization. Just be patient, and know that we’ll move as quickly and steadfastly as possible. Don’t give up!
As always, thanks for your support. Please, let us know what you think,
