Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your
blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is
added I receive four emails with the same comment.
Perhaps there is a means you can remove me

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks
fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
has some overlapping. I just wanted to give
you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
