Hello! I was curious to know if setting up a web site such your own:
http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6738937223367028973&postID=3251499934041177137
is hard to do for unskilled people? I've been wanting to set up my own blog for a while now but have been turned off mainly because I've
always assumed it demanded tons of work. What do you think?
Kudos

I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?

Hi just came upon your blog from Google after I typed in, "Blogger: The new property millionaires" or perhaps something
similar (can't quite remember exactly). Anyways, I'm happy I found it simply because your content is exactly what I'm looking for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don't
mind if I collect some information from here
and I will of course credit you as the reference. Many thanks.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my
apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a
youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has
83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I
had to share it with someone!
