I think everything published was actually very reasonable. However, consider this, suppose you were to create a awesome headline? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a post title to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create post headlines to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
