  My username WAS linked to my blog, and according to the settings in Users, Personal Settings, Account Details, Website, it still is.

  So i know how to link it, and it appears to still be linked. However as you see, it’s not working. So what’s going on?

  Blog in question is : http://theprattlingsofseverin.wordpress.com/

  Yes, as i have already said (above) I’ve already done that and it DID work for a while. Now it’s not linked anymore even though the URL field is still filled-in.

  Do you have more than one username? Perhaps you did it for the wrong one? Or you did not click on the Update button?

  If you only have one username, or if you are certain you did the change properly, contact staff: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  If your site has been marked as mature by staff, then your username will not link to your blog here in the forums.

  Fine. Read thesacredpath’s response (which was posted almost at the same time as your latest input), I think that might solve it.

  You have a big “adult content” warning on your front page. If someone reported it as mature, staff reviews it and if it is mature in their opinion, it is set as mature. As far as I know they have never sent notification out when a blog is marked as mature.

  Oh thank you TSP. It would have been nice if the staff had had the courtesy to tell me.

  The only two things that happen when your blog is marked as mature is that your username will not link here in the forums, and your site is excluded from the global tags pages here. Other than those two things, your site is still going out to the search engines and everyone can access it, and your username should still link to your blog when you comment on other .COM blogs just as it always did.
