I'm always happy to allow other newsletters and publications to reprint articles from WonderBaby.org, but I do ask that you follow a few of guidelines:

1. Please include my name, Amber Bobnar, as author, unless the article you are reprinting includes another name as author. Most articles on WonderBaby are written by me, but there are some written by other authors and I list their name where appropriate. If you want to reprint an article written by an author other than me, we should ask that author for permission as well.

2. Please include a mention of WonderBaby.org as the original source for the article.

3. If you're reprinting for an online publication or website, please make sure to link back to the original article, not just the WonderBaby homepage.

4. For online reprints, it might be better to just link to the article you're interested in reprinting. You could, for example, reprint the first paragraph or two of the article then use a "read more" link to link to the rest of the article on WonderBaby.org. This way we can avoid duplicate content penalties from search engines.

5. Finally, in order to avoid search engine complications, online reprinters should (if possible) noindex the reprinted article. This would mean adding this code to the page's head section:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

For content management systems, like WordPress, you may have to install a plugin that allows you to choose specific meta tags per post, like the WordPress Meta Robots plugin, which allows you to just check a box to noindex a page

Please contact me if you have any questions about reprinting. If you need an author bio or more information about WonderBaby.org to include with your reprint, please let me know and thanks!
