I think you'll find that a lot of people here have their own web sites...
If every user posted a topic to advertise his/her personal site, we'd have a thousand or so topics dedicated to nothing but that. Not only that, but the forum could then become a magnet for anyone with a site to promote...in the end, it would result in all the Mike-related discussion here getting swamped out by messages promoting personal sites which the majority of users here wouldn't find particularly interesting.
If you have a particularly interesting Mike Oldfield related site (or something on another fairly heavily related topic that's likely to interest a large number of people here), it would be ok to post a topic to that (although even then, I'd suggest asking yourself first whether it really needs a topic dedicated to it, or whether a link to it on our links page would be enough). It's also fine for regular contributors to the fan music section to post links to sites which are related to their musical work, in the fan music discussion section (take a look at some of the website-related topics already there to get an idea of what's acceptable).
When links to other things start appearing, though, it begins to feel like spam, although I'm sure that wasn't your intention here. Still, I think it's something we can do without.
