I still, however, do not see your logic in removing the link - my comment was completely applicable to the topic(as is reflected by the fact that you didnt' remove it) and the link that I included was to a BPM product that includes the features listed in my posting. Now if you refer to that as a blatant and misleading advertisement, then I urge you to take a look at the product yourself. For the record, the product is not mine - it is a product that my company uses and I thought it would be useful for other readers to take a look. I will be sure to respect the guidelines of your blog in the future, and will continue to subscribe to it. Sandy – of course you have the right to moderate and delete any comments as you wish.

You had links to your product on generic terms in your comment, and it seemed that the only reason that you had posted a comment was to post those links, not to join in the conversation. The usual way to link to your company in a blog comment is to enter the URL in the appropriate field in the comment form, which will cause your name in the comment to link to your site; note how this works in my comments on this post. Unless there's actually something of added value on your site to link to, that's enough. As for freedom of posting, you're free to post whatever you want on your own blog. This is my blog, and I reserve the right to moderate and delete any comments that I deem inappropriate.

The value added was that if a reader is interested in what is said, they can link to the page and read more. Isn't the freedom of posting what you want (within reason) what maintains the integrity of blogging? Now that I know your 'tastes' for where to put links, I'll be sure to include them in my name in the future. Maybe you should post some cheesy guidelines to avoid any future mixups?

If you had linked to your company URL from your name, you'd now have a link. Jonny — pretty cheesy way to get links to your company, so I removed them since they added no value to your comment.

Good business means controls and rules are respected throughout an organization. This, however, is often not the case. Business Process Management (BPM) software does allow companies to implement business rules and compliance initiatives into the actual framework of the organization. By automating your business processes you can implement business rules into each action, ensuring no option other than doing things by the book.
