The term telephone was adopted into the vocabulary of many languages. It is derived from the Greek: τῆλε, tēle, “far” and φωνή, phōnē, “voice”, together meaning “distant voice”.
The Greek root word phone means “sound.” This word root is the word origin of a number of English vocabulary words, including microphone, phone, and saxophone. An easy way to remember that phone means “sound” is through the word symphony, which is many instruments making a “sound” together.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using
WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another
platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into
it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
