The fact that you don't know what's going on makes it a really difficult situation to be in. Do you chase them up to check what's going on? Do you assume the silence means they're not interested and send it on to other sources (giving you problems if two editors eventually come back to you and say "yes please"), or do you give up and post the article on your own blog or website (after which, you're going to have problems selling on a second-hand product!)
If your article isn't seasonal or related to a particular anniversary then you might be able to squirrel it away and bring it out again at a later date, but if your feet is time-related it may become useless if you can't sell the piece.
The piece I pitched last week will cease to be relevant next month and so, if I haven't managed to shift it before then, it'll appear on this blog in mid-October.
Keep your fingers crossed that I find a paying home for it.
