Sorry bout that! I hit the wrong button! Let’s try this again. Hi there. I like the amount of pictures you used in your daily prompt post. My only suggestion for you is to engage with your commenters a little more. I usually try to respond to every comment I get when starting a new blog. Eventually (and ideally) it will become overwhelming to reply to all the comments, but I think it should be manageable for ya.

Hello All,
Last week I read a post on Matt walsh blog about homeschooling children rather that putting them through public schools. I hope most of you would have read it. But I strongly feel that it as a misconception and that educating others or our kids as a whole is a falsity and fatal to the community and the person himself.
So, I ask my fellow bloggers to pour in their opinions about the topic, so I can clear myself if there’s any wrong with it.
Here it is : http://thevastnothing.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/my-rebuttal-to-matt-walsh-on-why-we-dont-need-education/
Thankyou.

Good question! I should have explained that infographic a little, my apologies. It’s based on traffic patterns. The times listed are when the people are the most active on facebook.

Writing overall is good. Nice theme.
Not the blog i would read. Scrolled couple of your posts and read about the books. Nice reviews but I think that you should add more your own opinion about the book (not just copy-paste summaries).
Don’t think that I would subscribe to your blog because it’s too much “girlie stuff” 🙂 I don’t care about dresses and make up… soo… yeah 🙂
But I think that it is worth continuing 🙂

But the design. Ehh… I am really sorry but the blue backgroung makes my eyes burn and the banner (the picture you have on top of site) is quite making me want to close the tab and never re-open again 🙂 Make it somehow smoother. More neutral is good.
Also make font somehow more readable.

I’ve just started blogging, but i’ve already come across a lot of interesting posts. It’s a cross-section of people from all over the world. So I get to learn more, because personal experiences can tell you a lot about different cultures, as opposed to overly generalized made-for-tourists brochures.
I’m in two minds about the theme I chose for my blog. I’m not sure if a dark theme is the right fit.
