All About Egypt website seeking collaborators

Egypt Then And Now
All-About-Egypt

Ben Morales-Correa, who so kindly updated this blog in my absence, has posted a request for collaborators on his own site. This may represent a great opportunity for some of you out there to share information and help to build on an increasingly useful resource. Here's an extract from his post, but see the above page on Egypt Then and Now for full details:

Any website’s success is based on traffic, and traffic is generated by addressing the needs of readers looking for specific topics within a central theme.
All-About-Egypt has grown to the point that I have to recognize that while my passion for Egypt is boundless, my knowledge is not.

I deem it necessary to request the collaboration of other writers interested in having their articles published in All-About-Egypt. This is strictly voluntary, but as author, you get full credit, international recognition and publication rights. If you have a blog or website, you’ll also get an outbound link to help you develop traffic and rank. Your article will be further promoted through my subscription base.

The writing style of All-About-Egypt is informal, in a few words - Egyptology for the rest of us. Ease of reading is essential, but accuracy is too. Usual disclaimers apply, but All-About-Egypt is not a forum to propose outrageous claims or poorly supported theories. Just make sure that events and dates are properly corroborated.
