    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.
