  4. Hi there! I know this is kinda 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 problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    It's always helpful to read through content from other writers and practice a little something from their websites.
