I think what you published was very reasonable. But, think on this, what if you were to write a killer headline? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title to maybe get people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You might glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write news headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.
