    Hey – great weblog, just looking about some blogs, seems a fairly good platform you are utilizing. Im currently making use of WordPress for several of my websites but looking to alter one of them more than to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Something in particular you would suggest about it?

    After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any way youll be able to remove me from that service? Thanks!
