I believe everything said was very logical. However, what about this? suppose you added a little content? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a post title that grabbed people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.
