But be careful if you are trying to promote your personal blog. It's referred to as "Blog Flogging" and is considered spam and your posting privileges will be revoked. I'll check later, but I think it is acceptable to have your blog link in your signature line.

MIRT stands for Malicious Intruder Removal Team. It is a group of volunteers that monitor new registrants looking for racist, bigoted, sexist, hateful posts and posts meant to disrupt DU. It also looks for spam. Members of MIRT have the authority to immediately ban (revoke posting privileges) any new member that posts any of these type posts.

Welcome to DU and I'll get back to you on the sig line.
