  I have a few blogs suspended in the past. No Affiliate links, no Adult content, nothing vicious (as I only deal with Art or Audio equipment). The only reason I can think my blogs where suspended (as I was given on reason) was; there must have been a link that WP didn’t like.

  Can I link to a video on YouTube.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCDR_PKk8FY – Listening Room Update 4

  I also want to link to this page about an Audio Speaker Building project – http://home.comcast.net/~cunundrum/site/

  If I add the above links to my blog, will it be suspended?

  Just erring on the side of caution!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for the help. As I said, I’ve had a few blogs block by WP. Not sure where I’m going wrong.
