  2. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the
    way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. Thanks for the guide. I recommend that if basic troubleshooting doesn't work on your software/system better call the company to check the software licences.
