  1. Hello, I think your website could be having web browser compatibility problems.
    Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with
    a quick heads up! Besides that, fantastic blog!
