A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people don’t speak about such subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page 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 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
This excellent website definitely has all of the info I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
