I believe everything said made a great deal of sense. But, what about this? suppose you were to create a killer title? I ain't saying your information isn't solid, but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they create news titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab people excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.
