I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the style and design of your web log? Its extremely perfectly drafted; I enjoy exactly what youve got to state. However , possibly you may perform a tiny more in the way of content therefore persons could be connected with it better. You have acquired an awful whole lot of textual content for just having 1 or 2 illustrations. Probably you can space it out far better?
