First of all, love the new look, it's so much more professional looking...Great job.
Have you thought that perhaps to draw more people in, you need to do articles on local stuff? For instance, do an article on local sports group. Not only would this make people more aware of stuff going on in the area, it would provide some good info, and the members of said groups would probably take an interest in this site in return.
This site is long overdue for some successs.
That's my 2 cents anyway.
