Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse
your site on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I
get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile ..
I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, excellent blog!
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am
anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content
into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It’s hard to come by educated people in this particular subject,
but you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
