Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having
a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
