READ blog rules,
then go to your linked site:

My perspective?
The entire blog breaks rules.

It is directly linked to your website,
from which you profit,
by sales for a great many things...
thus is is a marketing promo utilised blog.

You seem to use it as a place to advertise for room rentals,sales for pictures, poems, plaques,
and to ask for donations as well.

Blog rules are pretty clear about this.
(as are even forum posting rules)

I think that covers a great deal of apparent evidence
that you do personally profit from sales at your website,
and you use your blog to direct link to your website,
(at top of your blog description are 2 links to your site.)
and you write messages that often refer to your website

______________________________

What the problem is with Lapis's post to you?
The problem is that you are doing exactly what he has stated.
Why you are seemingly playing as if you don't understand
is a bit odd, considering it is pretty blantant for ANYONE
to see that this blog is used for marketing purposes,
thru which you personally profit.
advertising, and wholesaling, and advertising
for roomrentals, and selling of memberships,
plus asking for donations for a self/profitable site.
