I believe what you said made a ton of sense. But, what about this? suppose you added a little content? I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid., but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post headlines to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
