I think everything posted was actually very reasonable. But, what about this? what if you added a little information? I ain't saying your information isn't good, however what if you added a title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You might look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. 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 could make your blog a little livelier.
