  1. I think what you published made a lot of sense.
    But, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title?
    I am not suggesting your content is not good., but what if you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean Jet Airways: Passengers hurt as pilots 'forget' cabin pressure –
    UK Newsline is a little boring. You might look at Yahoo’s
    front page and note how they create news headlines to get viewers interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two
    to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
