  7. Hey this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know
    if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to
    get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty.

    You are incredible! Thanks!

  10. I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
    1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  11. Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Finding the time and actual effort to make
    a very good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage to get anything
    done.
