Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
However think of if you added some great images or video clips to give
your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Excellent blog!

Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code
with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
