I believe what you published was actually very logical. But, think about this, suppose you added a little content? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write news headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a video or a pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
