Here's what you do. First, fix the navigation CSS. It's busted in Firefox.

Second, find or create a module that allows visitors to add their own "Most Interesting Thing in the World" quote and then allow others to vote on the winner. Offer the winner something like a gift card, a t-shirt, or $100. People will post their own ideas and then recruit their friends from FB and other social networks to vote on their quote. You can increase your traffic 10-fold and you'll get in-depth user information by forcing people to register before they vote.

If there isn't already a cookie cutter module for WP then spend $150 and get one coded. It will increase your website value. Right now I bet your bounce rate is between 70-80%.
I've thought about adding contests, and had some plans for the website originally, but after getting an email from Dos Equis saying they weren't interested in the site I lost some motivation.

I do believe the website has some potential, so perhaps I should focus more time on it, to increase the value.

The bounce rate isn't as bad as you've suspected, but close. at 53%.
