I think what you said made a lot of sense. But, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo's front page and see how they create news titles to grab people to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.
