<p><strong><strong>Short-Media pays you!</strong></strong></p>
<p>Each month Short-Media.com will pay two lucky people $50 USD each for the top two submissions as chosen by the Short-Media's motley crew of owners. Submit your article, review or guide to Short-Media.com for your chance to earn $50 for your work.</p>
<p>You’ve been around the forums, you’ve read the front pages, and you <b>have</b> the knowledge. Why not “formally” present some of it to the world?</p>
<p>Short-Media is looking for articles penned by members of our own forum crew. These can be about tips, mods, reviews of your own products, guides, or any other topic you think would be fit. Awesome members are what make any site like this one great. We want to give all of you the opportunities you deserve. </p>
<p>You don’t need to be a Shakespeare or Einstein to get involved. We’ll help guide you through the process if you like. Everyone is a beginner at some point! There are no deadlines or specific assignments. You can discuss concepts and ideas with the staff by sending a private message to General Keebler. If you would like to make a submission for review, attach it to an e-mail and send it to Matt at generalkeeblerNOSPAM@short-media.com (minus the NOSPAM). He will be more than happy to work with you to help develop the organization, flow, and semantics of your work.</p>

Damn. I should've written those 8 articles this year.
j/k...prof eagerly awaits Thrax' next article...
I am curious about one thing, this becomes property of S-M and all. Does that mean I cannot repost it on my own site(which is just a portfolio site, or going to be at least) or no?
Last line says "upon mutual agreement".
PM me your site just for a looksee and "step in da PM room so yoose and Me's can have...a chat."
We'll take this private please.
