  1. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of
    your website? 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?

  2. Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I
    provide credit and sources back to your blog? My website
    is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors
    would truly benefit from some of the information you present here.
    Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks a lot!
