    Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm
    looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you
    could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either
    written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques
    to help protect against content from being ripped off?

    I'd genuinely appreciate it.

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.

    You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening
    to read?
