    Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I
    was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so
    I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My site has a lot of unique content I’ve
    either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being
    stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  11. I do not even understand how I stopped up here, however I believed this publish was great.
    I don’t understand who you might be however definitely you are going to a well-known blogger if you are not already.
    Cheers!
