  20. 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 tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to
    ask!
