Are there any posts on recommendations to loosen up play?

I've only played ~ 7k hands with PT (I know, sample size...), but my VPIP has stayed at ~16.5 +/-.3 pretty much the entire time, and I'd like to play a few more hands.

Trying to open up my game:
- I think I'm too weak in the blinds against raises, particularly when the pot is multiway.
- I'm trying to limp with Axs earlier
- I'm limping with Kxs after several limpers, with passive blinds, on the CO and button
- playing more SC and suited 1-gappers

EDIT:
The following are recommendations posted by Nate in a follow-up post:

The first areas specifically where I'd tell a tightie to loosen up are, probably in this order:

1) Defending your blinds more, especially against steal raises.

2) Overlimping with more marginal hands in the Button or CO.

3) Stealing more or isolating limpers more with marginal hands in the Button or CO.

4) Limping, overlimping, or raising more with good suited hands and small-medium pairs in early position.
