I believe what you wrote made a bunch of sense. But, what about this? what if you typed a catchier title? I ain't saying your content isn't solid, however what if you added a post title to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You might peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.
