Everything composed was actually very logical. But, consider this, suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little livelier.
