    I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a
    blog that's both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i'm very happy I found this in my hunt
    for something concerning this.

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few
    months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
