    Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

    I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site.
    Do you ever run into any browser compatibility
    issues? A small number of my blog audience have complained
    about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
    Do you have any recommendations to help fix this
    problem?
