And they pay the large sum of $0 for my articles. Seriously though, I actually write my articles for commercial entities and then if I can, I share them for free with sites like Evolt.org. In the most recent case, I wrote the JAI article for Macromedia, but they won't be publishing it until October. I knew people were asking about image manipulation on the list, so I quickly got it published at Evolt to share.
