I'm so sorry you were jumped on, yes it is against the rules, but it would've been just as easy to tell you so than it was to jump on you and call you a troll 
Not sure about the siggie thing.
who cares! You can PM the links for sure, but not sure about the siggy... but I have seen blogs in siggys 

haha, can't say that enough!I'm glad to hear encouragement. It's very hard getting a forum kicked off; I was just looking for members. The DIS is generally made up of nice people, whom I think are GREAT, so that's why I posted it.
If anyone else wants info, let me know and I'll PM youhaha, can't say that enough!
