Cleanup on the Blogroll

I went through my list of blogs that I read and I noticed how many blogs are just blabbering on about all sorts of stuff I'm not even interested in reading any longer. So I've cleared up my blog list and will start adding new ones as I find them.

A couple I will definitely leave on them, just because they are still good to read, and I figured they deserved a special shoutout here...

World of Matticus

I cannot always agree with what is written here. And I sometimes wonder if he's in my head (I find posts there that I've been struggling to write and all of a sudden it shows up on this blog so I'll just discard them at that point), but the blog is consistently well written, and speaks about Worlf of Warcraft at least. Definitely something to subscribe to even though you might still skip a post at times.

The Pink Pigtail Inn

Larissa has some of the sharpest views on things out there. Mostly they are related to World of Warcraft in some way, and while this is definitely not about tactics or anything the stuff she writes is good to read. And oh...make sure to read the comments too, she has quite a few readers and it's funny to see how some things get discussed.

Righteous Orbs

I was reading this blog already when it was still called 'Standing in the back in my Sissy Robes'. Not sure if I got all the capitals right, but eh. The blog deals with situations in game, written from his point of view. Often very funny to read since he seems to have a nice dose of sarcasm in his pocket which is sprinkled freely throughout the posts.

Kaliope's WoW Crafting Blog

It's still my go to blog for the newest information on trade skills in WoW. Not only because this blog gives up to date information, but also because of the effort put in discovering all of it.

Krasus Chronicles

I've been following this blog for a while now, and while it isn't updated too often, I do enjoy following her story. Sort of like a soap series sometimes I guess.

Need More Rage

Last of the WoW blogs, but definitely not least, a blog that manages to make me giggle with every single post. I always hope I find a new post on this blog when I go through my reader just because they brighten up my day. Short and funny. Go there!

Hyperbole and a Half

Not a World of Warcraft blog, but everybody should read this. It's had me crying with tears of laughter just because it's sooo true. Well written, immensely funny, and you gotta love the drawings with the posts.

Anyway, that's it for today. I had some whiney post about Cataclysm in my head, but I've decided against it. I remember my feelings when Wrath was coming up all too well, and I'm thinking that I'll wait and see. I can still cancel the subscription when it really turns sour I won't have to cry out about it beforehand.

Enjoy your day!

Disc currently viable on Beta!

It's been quite a while, and I kept becoming sadder and sadder, but the last overhaul did it! Disc is now a good healing spec and actually somewhat fun to play.

Sure, I'll still need a mountain of haste to make it fun (I never could stand the enormous casting times), but at least it works again!

Blog Design

I've been fiddling with a new blog layout in the background for a while already. I think everybody who has a blog or has done anything with websites will have testblogs/sites next to it. Well, my testblog has been a mess for the longest time.

I had a whole new template, but it kept getting stuck, and I didn't like the readability. But with Cataclysm coming up I did want a new feel to my blog. So I started over and went for a blog layout that would be pleasing to the eye, but still pleasant to read.

I'm a bit sad to see my previous header picture go, thank you so much for letting me use it once again, FirstAngel! She will be save in my archive of blog templates :)

I have tried my best to find the artist of the picture that is currently shining in my header, but as it sometimes goes with pics you find in google, it wasn't credited anywhere else. If this is your picture, please let me know and I will credit it properly, and I'm hereby humbly asking for your permission to use it. (If you absolutely hate me using it, let me know also, and I will remove it of course).

I still have some work to do though. The footer for example says that this is a blog template from Underground...well, it's not anymore. It's based on their blog template, but I stuck so many hours in to make it my own that I need to change it a little.

Anyways, let me know if things aren't working the way they should and I'll make sure to go and fix.

And maybe next time I do manage to find a blog that has all the fancy moving stuffs that's still pleasing to the eye!

Update: Someone just whispered to me that the header comes from Azazel1944. I hope it's ok with you that I'm using this picture, if not let me know and I'll remove it. Credits in the footer :)

Priestly feelings about Cata

I've held off giving any comments about Cataclysm until the addons were in. I have this thing with using 22 button bindings for healing....I cannot do it. So until I could actually heal properly with clique I didn't want to say much about it, because it would not entirely be a fair judgement, but I've been healing and dpsing some dungeons on my premade priest now, so I'm going to put some sentences keysentences down....

Be warned though, while I do have some positive thoughts to share, in general this expansion makes me feel not so good so far.

Cataclysm Dungeon Locations

Right, so in Cata you will have to discover your dungeon before you can queue up for it. I believe this is a good thing, I do hope they make it account bound because I really don't feel like rediscovering them on every character.

I also hope that my character remembers where the old dungeons are, and that they will make sure that I can queue up for those too, since that is currently not possible.

Buuuut, to discover the dungeon entrance, you do need to know where they are...below the cut is a nice overview.
