OK - I have unblocked you. However a user page that advertises a website is seen simply as promotional. Many people mistake Foundation website for a form of social networking which it definitely is not! Hopefully you will understand this. Feel free to post here if you have queries & I will see it. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 15:15, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - as a matter of info if you edit Wikipedia with that user name you will be blocked pretty quickly if there is any mention of the website - they are rather more strict there. It might be worth changing your user name. --Herby talk thyme 15:28, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
