I think it just needs to be a little bit more aethtically pleasing... i.e. add a little bit of shape and a splash of colour. At the moment its very overwhelming with text.
I am not sure if your blog is supposed to have a sidebar but I think so. It would look more blog-like if the sidebar was on the side. To get more traffic submit your blog so web directories and blog directories.
Forget about directories. You would better spend your time commenting on other blogs in your niche. I've had many many clickthroughs come from comments I made with my URL on popular blogs.
