I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page
layout of your site? 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 2 pictures.

Maybe you could space it out better?
