What you said was actually very reasonable. But think about this what if you composed a catchier post title? I mean I dont wish to tell you how to run your blog however what if you added a title that grabbed peoples attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoos front page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everythingve got to say. Just my opinion it might bring your posts a little livelier.
