I was curious 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 1 or 2
images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images
aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a
linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers
and both show the same results.
