  1. Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was
    wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve
    had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives
    for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me
    in the direction of a good platform.
