At one time there was a thriving article directory here. You could come and add an article to the evergrowing database. Or, if you were looking for contnt for a website, you could copy the articles - provided you left the attribution information in.
Sadly, the script I used at the time was insecure. I'ts a common problem. Where once you could compile a list of over 100 sites across the internet using that script, now there are just a handful, using heavily modified versions of the original script.
It isn't the only article script to suffer this fate. I was looking into one of its competitors recently and all I could find were hacked sites.
As to my ventures. I'm currently resting a new script. Come back in another month and you may find a pleasant surprise...
