I had a look at your blog - my Polish is not very good, sorry.

I can help a bit by adding you to a couple of blogrolls. There are a couple of things in the way of wider success - if you would like to discuss them, please email me at facibus at gmail dot com - happy to do what I can for a reader at no charge.

Best regards, Andrew
