    Hello, I do think your site could be having internet
    browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look
    at your website in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in IE, it has some overlapping
    issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Apart from that, fantastic website!

    Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've
    had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
