I think that what you said made a ton of sense. However, think on this, suppose you typed a catchier title? I am not saying your information isn't good, however what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You might look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
