  6. Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you
    get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can
    advise? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  9. Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a
    paid option? There are so many options out there
    that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Kudos!
