[custom_headline type=”left” level=”h4″ accent=”true”]Disclosure[/custom_headline]

The content on this site is written and edited by me, Taryn Fiol Williford. All articles posted on tarynwilliford.com are about ideas, products, publications, services and companies I genuinely use and like, or I am interested in trying.

Advertising

This site accepts forms of advertising, most commonly through the form of paid banner advertisements. If you are interested in purchasing ad space on tarynwilliford.com, please learn more here.

I always detail honest opinions and experiences on products, even for those companies that purchase ad space or sponsored content.

Affiliates

This site contains some contextual affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase from an affiliate site, then I may make a commission from that purchase. I only promote products or services through affiliate links that I would use personally or genuinely like. Affiliate links are included after content is written, and content is never composed for the purpose of including advertising.

Sponsored Posts

This site occasionally features content sponsored by brands that have provided products, services or payment. Sponsored posts are always disclosed as such to readers in the body of the post. (This site will never sell text links.) Sponsored content on this site will never compromise the editorial voice of this site; anything I feature will be something I know and like, and that I think you’ll like too. Sponsored posts are always written by me in my own voice and of my own opinion. If you are interested in a partnership for sponsored content, please learn more here.

Submissions

I will not accept any products or sponsored posts from companies that I would not otherwise post about on this site. This site features only my own, honest opinions. Please consider whether your product or company matches the topic and aesthetic of tarynwilliford.com prior to pitching your product.

I am eager to do product reviews of like-minded products and companies in the food, fashion and technology industries on approval basis only. I only accept samples that I would consider purchasing myself. There is no guarantee that items sent for review will end up on this site or discussed in social media. Any sample products or gifts that are featured on the site are disclosed as such.

Review Units & Gifted Items

Any products which have been gifted or provided to me for inclusion on this site are noted with an asterisk (“*”) or courtesy (“c/o”) at the bottom of the post and are only included if a good fit for this site. All product review content features a notice of disclosure and indicates if a product unit was provided gratis or discounted. I never accept products that I am not genuinely curious to try, and all reviews feature my unbiased opinion of the product.

I Owe You a Thank You

Thanks, dear readers, for supporting the processes and products that keep this blog running. You da real MVP.

[custom_headline type=”left” level=”h4″ accent=”true”]Colophon[/custom_headline]

This site is written and maintained by me, Taryn Williford, in Atlanta, Georgia. It began in 2015 as the next phase of my lifestyle blog, Formal Fringe. Any articles dated before 2015 were originally published on Formal Fringe. Formal Fringe was launched and began publishing in 2010.

Foundation

Tarynwilliford.com is powered by WordPress and hosted with DreamHost. This site’s theme is a child theme customized by me, and based on X by ThemeCo. This site is responsive, so users at every screen size should have an optimal experience with content and images found on the site.

Design

I want this site’s design to feel editorial. Because the X theme is hyper flexible, I was able to totally customize my website’s design. To keep things serious, the site’s color palette is basic black and white, with green (#159a40) accents. There’s liberal use of box and line to keep things organized in a visual grid. Templates on the site use the Webfonts Karla and (for emphasis) Lora, powered by Google Fonts. The Taryn Williford script logo is my own handwriting and was born from one long afternoon with copy paper, a Sharpie marker and Bézier curves.

Production

All copy on the site is written, photographed and edited by me, unless otherwise noted. I’m an adherent to plain text writing when it comes to the Web, and prefer to use a plain text editor and hand-code my own markup (I’ve accidentally typed “<em>” into a Word doc before).

Original photos on the site have been captured either with my iPhone 5 or a Canon EOS Rebel T1i (and, yes, I’m dying to upgrade both of them). When shooting iPhone photos, I like to use the VSCO Cam app. Shooting with the DLSR, my favorite lens is a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. I do all my desktop editing in Photoshop. When I can’t have original photography on the site, I scour the libraries of alternative stock photo sites like Stocksy and Death to the Stock Photo. Support creativity!
