Hi there! I know this is somewhat 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 options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Deference to author, some excellent selective information.
My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am worried
about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about
blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

It would all the time be stimulating to read content from different writers and observe somewhat one thing from their store. I’d want to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
