    I think what you said was very logical. But, think on this, suppose you composed a catchier post title? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid., but what if you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean The Empire of the Odd » Blog Archive » Scientologists Publish Fake ‘New Yorker’ After Critical Article is a little boring. You might look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.
