    I was curious if you ever considered changing the page
    layout of your blog? 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 one or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    I believe what you composed was actually very reasonable.

    However, what about this? what if you added a little
    content? I ain’t suggesting your content is not good, however what if
    you added a headline that makes people desire more?

    I mean Echo Park Lake bird species decline in recent count | Echo
    Park Now is kinda plain. You should look at Yahoo’s home
    page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to
    click. You might add a video or a picture or two
    to grab people interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts
    a little livelier.
