Photo Blog rejected with: The URL you submitted is not a blog

Hi everyone,

I submitted my photo blog at www.richardhamiltonphotography.com and received an email stating that it was rejected because "the URL you submitted is not a blog". I have tried resubmitting it and received the same rejection message.

It's a Wordpress Blog running the Reflection-Mod Theme. I have also successfully validated www.richardhamiltonphotography.com at validator.w3.org/feed/.

Any ideas why it was rejected and what I could do to have it accepted?

Kind regards,
Richard

    It appears that your blog is not at the URL you provided here--is that the one you submitted? When I go to that page, I find a main navigation item called "Blog" that does in fact lead to a blog--that in itself seems to pretty clearly indicate that the larger site is not itself a blog. Why don't you submit the blog?

      Thank you MadameX. I think, from your reply, I may have found the confusion why it is being rejected. I actually have two Blogs, a photo blog which is at www.richardhamilonphotography.com and the written blog that you refer to at www.blog.itslife.ca The latter, has been submitted and accepted at Blog Catalog.

      I thought that we could submit Photo Blogs. In my photo blog I post a photo a day with a short write-up in the "Info" section to the immediate top right of the photo.

      Does that make sense? What is the best way of communicating this to someone who can approve my Photo Blog?
