We're happy to clarify this since it is an important consideration for all writers. The relevant part of the Blogging Network's Terms of Use is called "Right to Use Blogs". What this means is that you're only providing BN a nonexclusive license to publish/reproduce/distribute etc. your blog. The copyright will always remain with you as the author.
