I believe what you typed was very reasonable. However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a post title that grabbed people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article headlines to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about everything've written. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.
