I believe what you said made a bunch of sense. But,
consider this, suppose you added a little content?
I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid., but what if you added a title that grabbed people’s attention?

LIFE NOTES is kinda boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news titles to get viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
