Greetings! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy

I think that what you posted made a bunch of sense.
But, what about this? suppose you added a little information?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added something that makes people desire more? I mean "Margaret Corbett Daley to be Commencement speaker at Saint Xavier University Commencement" is a little boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write post titles to grab people interested.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people
excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm
planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
something unique. P.S Sorry for
getting off-topic but
I had to ask!
