This really is "Coder Myopia":
Jeff should be the first one who is familiar with the "eye movement hotspot" study that we see over and over again. Users rarely notice anything along the Right Hand Border (most web ads show up here). All user attention is focused on the top left edge, left margin and the top few lines. If you want to catch the user's eye this region is your best bet.
Move the formatting suggestions just below where your "Title" is placed and you will see a higher uptake - guaranteed. Blaming Users for Poor UI design smacks of unwarranted arrogance - never a desirable trait.
