What you said was actually very reasonable. But, think on this, suppose you were to create a killer title? I ain't saying your content isn't solid, but suppose you added a post title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda boring. You might look at Yahoo's front page and see how they create news headlines to grab viewers interested. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
