Why did my blog get taken down?
-
This is my first ever blog post, so I am extremely new to this. I put up my blog this morning and it was taken down around 4:30 this afternoon. I was just curious as to why it got taken down and how I could keep it up. I have a feeling it was the pictures I used. If so, is there a way that I can just cite the pictures in order for them to be legal for me to use? I have never done this, so any help would be greatly appreciated and I’m sorry if I did something wrong.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

http://themlscupbearer.wordpress.com/ is not down. It is, however, using wayyyyyy too many tags and categories. Keep it to under 15. 12 is safer. Otherwise you’ll be classed as a tag spammer.

ok, that makes sense. I did not realize that was a bad thing. It got taken down, but I assumed it was the pictures, so I took off the pictures and put it back up. Do you think it is the number of tags?
-
No, they don’t take blogs down for that; they just remove them from the tag pages. As a new blog, you wouldn’t be in the tag pages anyway.
If the pictures don’t belong to you, and someone who owns them complained, then that would get the blog taken down.

Thanks for your help. I am just trying not to step on anyone’s toes right now because I am literally brand new to this.

No worries, you’re off to a good start. It takes most of us three years to get mistakenly suspended and revived!

Just a side note – the URL of a blog linked to your name does not exist – spelling error – you might want to correct that since when you make a comment on another blog the URL linked to your name will be left with the comments, so someone that liked your comment and wants to visit your blog will not be able to

Ok, I’m sorry but I’m really not sure what to do. I am at the screen you told me to go to, but I don’t know what to enter where. There is a space at the bottom where I can enter in a URL, is that where you want me to put in something? And what exactly do you want me to put in?

There it is. I just saw what y’all are talking about. I changed it but I assume it might take a while to update to my complete profile. Thank you for your help
