Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the 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 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
