I think what you published made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I am not suggesting your information is not good, but suppose you added a title to possibly grab folk's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You could glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they write post titles to get people interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get people excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
