Author Submission Guidelines
Free and Re-Printable Content
OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET is a free content wedding article directory. This means that any webmaster, publisher, or editor may re-print your article(s) subject to the basic terms and conditions outlined on this site. If you are an author that charges a fee for publication of your articles or requires that special terms be met prior to publication of your work, you should NOT submit your writings to this site.
Article Submission Guidelines
Article submissions to OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET are free. New additions to our database are indexed at least once a day. This means that any article you submit will be searchable by, and available to, visitors within one to two business days after it is submitted.
Before submitting an article, please search the OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET database by author name or article title to ensure your articles have not already been added by someone else.
Submit your article to one category only. Submissions to multiple categories are automatically removed on a daily basis.
Submissions that are commercial or advertorial in content will be removed from the OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET database. OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET provides visitors and publishers with information resources for weddings, not a forum for advertising commercial products, services or programs.
Articles are to contain wedding themes and topics that are of interest to couples and families who are planning a wedding. No article containing or promoting gambling, pornography, hate, prejudice, illegal content or anything offensive to anyone will be added to the directory.
Submitting articles that consist of a few lines of text with a link pointing to another site where the remainder of an article is supposed to be published will be deleted.
Article submissions that violate the copyright of another author or are plagiarized will be removed. Read the section below for more information on our copyright policy.
Note: OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET reserves the right to remove any article or articles for any reason with or without notice or explanation. In cases where the above or other guidelines are severely abused, so-called authors will be banned.
Article Criteria
Article submissions are subject to length restrictions. These are outlined below:
Article Title: maximum 175 characters.
Article Body: maximum of 15,000 characters or roughly 2,500 words.
Author Bio: 500 characters or roughly 70 words.
Article Formatting and Links
We strongly recommend that authors submitting to OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like Notepad or NoteTab Light. Following this suggestion will ensure that paragraph breaks, line length and other basic formatting will be properly handled by our submission form. Copying and pasting content from applications like MS Word can and does result in a variety of formatting problems. The reason for this is that MS Word and similar applications use non-ASCII, sometimes invisible, characters that are copied with article content into our submission form, causing articles to appear very differently from the way they were submitted.
It is not necessary for authors to use html tags for specifying font size or to create paragraph and line breaks. Use of HTML should be minimal and we suggest html tags only be used for creating live links to sites, services or products. Our submission process does not automatically create activated links. You must do this.
Copyright and Violations
OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET policy prohibits the use of copyrighted material in a manner that violates the copyright owner's rights. In general, this means that authors should only submit their own original written work to which they have natural copyright.
In cases where copyright is disputed (usually as a result of plagiarism or unauthorized copying), articles will be immediately removed without recourse or discussion, regardless of the arguments presented by the disputing parties.
Actions to Take in the Event of Copyright Violation
OURWEDDINGPLANNING is a free content article directory. We act as an intermediary between authors and publishers and post guidelines for both regarding copyright adherence. However, copyright resides with the authors who submit to our directory, not with us. As a consequence, OURWEDDINGPLANNING.NET has no legal standing to enforce copyright on behalf of authors.
In the event of copyright violation, authors should exercise their rights under the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 by contacting the offending party, contact the ISP hosting the violator's site and seeking a warning or suspension to the offending party
