I think what you wrote made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? what if you added a little content? I ain't saying your content isn't good., however what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and see how they create article titles to get people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
