I think that everything said made a lot of sense. However, think about this, what if you composed a catchier post title? I ain't suggesting your information is not solid, but suppose you added something to possibly grab people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You could glance at Yahoo's home page and see how they create article titles to get people interested. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people interested about what you've written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
