Everything published was very logical. However, think on this, what if you

to run your blog, however what if you added a title to maybe
get people’s attention? I mean The first edition of Istanbul Design Biennial bids farewell
| Istanbul Design Biennial is a little plain. You might
look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news titles to get people to open the links.
You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get
people excited about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
