    I think what you composed was very reasonable. But, what about this?

    what if you were to create a awesome headline? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added
    a title that makes people want more? I mean Red-Capped Cardinal – Daniel’s Animals is a little vanilla.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create article
    headlines to grab viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a
    picture or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and
    screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had
    to tell someone!
