  1. Everything published made a lot of sense. But, think about this, suppose you
    were to create a killer headline? I am not suggesting your information is
    not good., but what if you added a title to maybe get
    folk's attention? I mean "Deadly plants on the planet" is a little boring.
    You could look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create post titles to get people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you've got to say.
    In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
