I believe everything posted made a ton of sense. However, consider this, what if you were to create a awesome headline? I am not suggesting your content isn't good., but what if you added a post title to possibly get folk's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda boring. You could peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news headlines to grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
