I personally like homepage layout, I think your conversion rate could be really high for blog conversions, but, as browngeek said, there is no instant gratification.

I'm not to tempted to create my own cause I don't know what's entailed. I do know it takes 5 minutes now and that's not time I have right now.

Maybe you should make the "Start creating mobile pages" link bring you to a blank mobile page where you can become invested and then force the user to sign up once they have everything they want; like their layout, pictures, url..etc.

Good idea though, and you're off to an AWESOME start.
