You can be assured that something like this won't happen on LQ. For the moderators is communication with the members about violations of the rules is mandatory, you won't get suspended or even banned for such minor violations. Banning members is the last step that will be taken here, before that you will definitely have the chance to communicate with us, so that you will be made aware of anything that is against the forum rules.
There is also nothing wrong with linking to an article in your blog in a post (some of our members have blogs that maintain a high quality, so that I often find myself giving a link to one of their blogs for a solution to a problem), if it is relevant to the topic (and you maybe give a summary in the post). It becomes only a problem if it is clearly your intention to only post here to drive traffic to your blog.
As always in life, communication is a key-point, so bloodstreetboy did the right thing: If unsure just ask.
