Mike, if you take issue with the Forum Rules, you should take it up with the Forum Administrator. In your post, I see nothing referring to or your acknowledgement of the rules.
"You may not use the Open Roads Forum to either advertise or promote commercial endeavors. This includes direct posts, member name, URLS in your profile or signature, as well as, active links to other sites on the Internet.

The first thing at the top of your blog is "Paterson Photography
Teaching, courses, workshops, printing, photography and more". Does that not advertise or promote commercial endeavors?
It should be noted, I am the Moderator on the TC Forum only. If you have questions to do with another Forum, it should be ask there.
