I think what you published made a great deal of sense. However, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title? I am not saying your content isn't good., however what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.
