I think everything wrote was actually very logical. However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier title? I am not suggesting your information isn't good., however suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news titles to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
