I guess I'll finally chime in since this thread started partly because of me (sheepishly). I think the message is this:

(from Steve) "We ask that members do not link back to their sites or blogs for the purpose of SEO or self promotion of products or services available to photographers."

If you want to share a set of photos on your blog/website, do it with "check out more on the BLOG". Not in the methods as listed above. This is my opinion, but I believe this is why the issue started. It was NEVER the issue of actually posting a link to your site, it only became an issue when SEO tactics were being employed.

Feel free to moderate....

You said it as well as anyone and that's pretty much how I feel about it.

p.4 #4 · Using Links on FM

Well, for what it's worth, I used to post links to my blog (on other FM forums), to technical articles about camera use and *that* was considered self-promotion, even though I had not a single ad or come-on in those links or around them. So it's not that easy, and IMO, it is a loss to the community when I am discouraged from sharing what I know with others. But hey, I don't own or run this site, so when I come here, I'll take off my shoes and be a polite visitor.
