    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the 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
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?
