  11. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

It had been the challenging dilemma for me personally, however , being able to view a expert approach you resolved that forced me to cry for contentment. I am just happy for your guidance as well as wish you realize what a powerful job that you’re putting in training others thru your blog. More than likely you haven’t encountered all of us.
