You can give your answer in the comments below.
I think that what you posted made a ton of sense. But, consider this, what if you were to write a awesome headline?
ReplyDeleteI am not saying your information is not solid., but what if you added a title that makes people want
more? I mean "JACK AND PLUG CONFIGURATION IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES" is a little boring.
You could look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news
titles to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or
a related picture or two to get people interested
about what you've got to say. Just my opinion,
it could make your posts a little livelier.
