  1. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But just imagine if you added some great
    images or video clips to give your posts more,
    "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its
    niche. Wonderful blog!
