Forum name not linking to blog

    Hi there,

    I followed the instructions a while back for linking my blog to my forum user name and I’ve filled in the relevant bit in Account Details in my dashboard, however when I post my name doesn’t appear to link to my blog. My blog is at http://beingblacksilk.com (NSFW). I have my own domain name, but it’s still a WordPress blog and not self-hosted.

    However, is it maybe not linking because I’ve linked to a blog that doesn’t have “.wordpress” in it, do you think? I’d rather link straight to http://beingblacksilk.com as the http://blacksilk.wordpress.com link just redirects to the first address anyway. Plus, I want people to be linked directly to the right address as it affects my Alexa blog ranking (sites linking in).

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Your blog is mature:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/mature-content/

    It is not eligible to be featured in Freshly Pressed on the front page of WordPress.com
    It will not appear in global tag listings
    It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
    The blog’s users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile
