Everything said made a lot of sense. But, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little vanilla. You could look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create post headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
