Then we could sit back and watch them do just the opposite? Why would God have wasted his time with Ten Commandments? Couldn't He have done better with the ten sinful options? Maybe we should be grateful that God doesn't have any notions The dot matrix printing method used ribbons

I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "List of English words of Tamil origin" is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how
they create article headlines to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.
