I think everything posted made a ton of sense. However, consider this, suppose you were to write a killer title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a title to maybe get a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news headlines to grab people interested. You might add a video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything've written. In my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
