I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you
could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Look into my blog - Dale Rabbe
