I believe what you typed was actually very logical. But, what about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a post title to possibly get people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You might look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people interested about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
