blog policy update

There have been some new laws go into effect this month relating to blogging...and sponsors...and comments...and lots o hoopla. So I figured this would be a dynamite time to post a few blog policies.

A Mountain Bride tries to site all images used responsibly, and to give credit where credit is due. If you see an image that is incorrectly labeled, or if you would like it removed, please let me know! I strive to use all images that are copyrighted to their owner, and are used here under the Fair Use Doctrine of US Copyright Law. I do my best to source all images properly. Again, should any situation arise - please email me!

One of my personal joys through this blog is inducing conversation, collecting ideas, and stimulating thought. I love when readers take the time to share their experiences and insights with me. However, it must be noted that if there are mean, inappropriate or otherwise offensive comments made, I have the right to delete such comments. Understand that by adding your comments you are authorizing that they are subject to approval...by me. *smile*

Fortunately, A Mountain Bride has several lovely sponsors, most of whom are vendors with whom through our own wedding planning has been established. Occasionally, a posts may feature a sponsor's goods or services. Not all posts discussing sponsors/shops/services/vendors are paid features!!  99% of my posts are written because I feel the sponsor/shop/service/vendor has a bangarang product that deserves a shout out.  Occassionally, a sponsor or vendor will pay for advertisement on the sidebar of the page.  This payment may take the forms of discounts on services/goods, cash, giveaways, or bartering goods to be used by A Mountain Bride.
