I believe what you posted was very logical. But, think about this, what if you typed a catchier post
title? I ain't saying your information isn't good,
however what if you added a title that grabbed a person's attention? I mean "November 2007 Main Quiz" is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create
article headlines to grab viewers to open the links.

You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.
