I think what you said was very reasonable. But, think about this, suppose you typed a catchier post title? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid, but what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
