Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up
and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Greetings, I do think your blog might be
having internet browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine
but when opening in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful website!

My developer 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 Movable-type on various websites
for about a year and am concerned 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 greatly appreciated!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails
with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Cheers!

I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my search for something relating to this.
