    what about this? suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I ain’t saying
    your information isn’t good, but what if you added a post title to maybe
    grab people’s attention? I mean Elysian Park Workshop:
    Make your own solar oven | Echo Park Now is a little vanilla.
    You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article titles to get viewers
    interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to
    get readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your website a little bit more interesting.
