I believe what you wrote made a lot of sense. However, consider this, suppose you were to write a awesome post title? I am not saying your information is not solid., but what if you added a post title to possibly get people's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've written. In my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
