I think what you said was very logical. But, think about this, suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You might peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
