More importantly, Did you know there were this many blogging platforms out there?
Good question.
TL;DR - yes … yes you can.
BUT, apparently it means nothing, because you still need to be big and with deep pockets to protect that patent - because otherwise them large corporations - hell they invented the 💩

Enjoy.
