I think that everything wrote was actually very logical. But, what about this? suppose you added a little content? I am not saying your content is not good., but what if you added a headline that grabbed a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write article titles to get people to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything've written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
