I believe what you posted made a ton of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to create a killer title? I am not suggesting your content isn't solid., but what if you added something that grabbed a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You should look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
