Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult
time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
