Wow! I agree 100% bloggers do have a lot of value, and some companies are still jaded on that. Most companies understand and promote, and give back appropriately:-)

Your pate sounds delicious, I love the addition of mushrooms, and that buttery top sounds like heaven! Yum, Hugs, Terra

There are a ton of bloggers out there and most are willing to work for free. I’m so glad you made the decision that you did 🙂

(very considerate of you not to name them) The fact is that bloggers don’t have Press Associations and personal liability insurance backing them up as regular media journalists do and they are more vulnerable to libel suits and vitriol on the social networks if they review negatively.

Like it or not bloggers are viewed as easy prey by many PR companies, who see them as unprofessional, naive and pathetically grateful to be asked. I was once asked for some photos from my blog for a magazine going to every household in a local town and when I suggested they might pay for them, they said no and that they got no money from the magazine, but it was full of advertising so it must have had some revenues? I think they thought I was stupid too. Hey ho!

I as well believe in holding ourselves to higher standard, whether it be what is promoted or said on our sites. Cheers to you!
