In case you haven't heard- last month Childrens Illustrators.com, a paysite (roughly 200 dollars per year to host your portfolio) was hacked. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but the entire site is down. You can follow some updates via their twitter page here: twitter.com/cillustrators. But they have not updated that page since December 2nd...
I'm a little frustrated that I found out about the hack via another blog- but I suppose if it's as extensive as they have been claiming, they don't even have access to their web accounts. Bummer. I'll be watching closely to see how we'll all be compensated for this mishap... and if the site will ever be up and running.
