I believe what you said was very logical. However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I ain't saying your content is not good., but what if you added a headline that makes people want more? I mean Start new topic is a little plain. You could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create post headlines to get people to click. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything've written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.
