I think that everything posted was very reasonable. However, think on this, what if you were to create a killer headline? I ain't suggesting your content isn't solid., but suppose you added a post title to maybe get a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they create post headlines to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.
