I believe what you peotsd made a great deal of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's front page and see how they write news titles to grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
