Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a excellent job with this.
Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer.
Exceptional Blog!
