RE: Putting my money where my mouth is...

The message was good, but wow, the every word capitalized was a bit blinding. I use all caps words to emphasize a point but I use either proper sentence case with ONE word capitalized in it, or I do an ALL CAPS PHRASE to make a point.

Also, see how I put a blank line in here between paragraphs or at least thoughts? You need some white space in there, especially most of all between the last line and the first photo.

Compare your post to one of my most recent ones. Look how much space I use, but I would ask you, which is easier to actually scan through and read?

Your message was fine, your call to the audience to participate is good.

Your layout needs some love.

No offense, but when asked for feedback, I give it.

Thats my main advice. Proper word casing in sentences, and white space between paragraphs or distinct points, or at places it just feels like a natural pause is fine in a blog, but not in a book or college paper though.

Your message here too, includes ".." for a place that should either be two separate sentences with a space and proper periods on them or a comma and and a single space after it between "post" and "give".

Your write good things, it's just punctuation, layout, and proper word casing that makes it almost blinding to try and read even that short form post. If it was 4 times that long, I'd have given up trying to make my brain process the tight, strangely cased jumble and left a few words in.

Think about things you read. Ever seen a magazine or book or web page look like your style there? Look again at any printed publication. Newspaper, book, magazine, or whatever. You'll see the difference right away next to your wall of words.

These factors affect readability, pacing and timing and pacing and timing is everything in vertical screen scrolled reading. Not to mention any accomplished reader wouldnt have even tried. They see a jumbly mess, they assume the value of the content is equally sketchy.

Good luck!
