  2. I was curious 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 two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
