    I think everything posted made a lot of sense.
    But, what about this? suppose you were to create
    a killer post title? I am not saying your content is not solid,
    but what if you added a post title to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean Elysian Park Workshop: Make your own solar oven | Echo Park Now is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write post titles to grab viewers to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve
    got to say. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
