For Our Lincoln Log readers:

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact Kelly at the following e-mail address: ourlincolnlog(at)gmail(dot)com.
This blog does not accept any form of cash advertising (with the exception of 3rd party advertising by Google AdSense), sponsorship, or paid topic insertions. However, we will and do accept and keep free products, services, travel, event tickets, and other forms of compensation from companies and organizations. This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. The owner(s) of this blog is not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. In some instances, a company may provide the blog owner with an item for review, but any published reviews and opinions of said item will be those of the blog owners and will not be influenced by anyone else. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. If we claim or appear to be experts on a certain topic or product or service area, we will only endorse products or services that we believe, based on our expertise, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.
