Just thought I'd check in case I fell foul of some rules.

Providing it is not a blog about any services or products that you may be selling I think it's ok.

Don't think my blog breaks any of those rules so I'll add it.

If it causes a problem let me know.

New to this blogging lark so I thought I'd give it a try (was bored today).

You may link to your blog as long as it is a personal one and not commercial but please don't link to it in posts as any sort of reference otherwise the posts will be deleted.

Please be aware that signature links here re "nofollow" so the search engines will not spider the links and they will therefore have no SEO value
