  I am trying to do a product review for:

  http://www.creativebioscience.com/90-day-weight-loss-challenge.html

  I was advised to contact you (no support information so I don’t know if I will get help here – which is quite frustrating) right away because so many wordpress users/bloggers had problems with doing product reviews. One of the bloggers in my community had their site shut down for having this link on their page and I just want to make sure that this does not happen to me because I am doing a product review for a legitimate health company. It’s very hard to contact anyone on wordpress for support – it’s nothing like Blogger. Other than posting this message…I don’t know what else to do.

  Thank you for the info, timethief. I hope I don’t encounter problems…which is why I am contacting the support forum ahead of time. WordPress has been challenging to use and frustrating for the most part, but I want to give it my best shot because it does offer great security features.

  I just received this note from another blogger and have a question on appropriate content on blogs according to the WordPress guidelines?

  In a recent WordPress blog, the blogger asked his viewers to check out a person’s (excellent) books below his post.

  Should all WordPress blogs be free of any commercial content whatsoever? This blogger truly believes that WordPress bloggers should get recompensed for the content they produce! I don’t believe this but one of your bloggers commented this to me.

  Does WordPress have any answers to his type of questions?

  It is so positive and productive for us bloggers!

  Thanks for having this forum to ask questions.

  Great points/post, Segmation. I don’t want to say that I made the wrong move by transitioning from Blogger to WordPress…but I just feel so limited as a wordpress blogger right now. Using wordpress makes me feel like I have my hands tied sometimes. :(
