    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
    losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

    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 informative to
    read?
