Where have all the web content sites gone?

Many web content websites have vanished or stopped in their tracks in the last few months. It's quite amazing that this has happened, actually, in the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies -- more people than ever are now using the web to get vital news information in real-time. (Family members in my household now visit international news websites to get a different perspective on the events going on!) Content is still around, websites still advertise for content creation jobs, and yet the websites for web writers and the content community have dissipated to a small, yet vital, few.So, if you're looking for support, news, and training, where should you go?
