Hey there! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had to
ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take
a lot of work? I'm completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary everyday. I'd like
to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience
and views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
on several websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.

I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I drop a comment each time I like a post on a website or I have something to add to
the conversation. It's a result of the sincerness communicated in the post I looked at. And after this article "resume". I was actually moved enough to post a commenta response ;-) I actually do have a few questions for you if it's
okay. Could it be simply me or do a few of the responses
appear as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites,
I would like to follow you. Could you make a list every one
of all your community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
