I’m more of a “wait a bit and let the bugs shake out” kind of guy.
Gwaendar, over on Altitis, isn’t.
That’s good news for you if you are wanting some first impressions of the new Wordpress.

WoWhead item tooltips FTW!!!
Thanks to Blog Azeroth (Phaelia in particular for starting the thread), and this short tutorial on WoWhead.  I followed the one step (yes one step - and it’s a copy and paste), and it worked like a charm.  It really is that simple.
There are other options.  But it’s hard to consider a plugin […]

Okay, that ended up sounding a bit more pompous than I intended, but all in all a decent title for this post.  I really haven’t posted much over the last week or so.  I’ve been busy with the blog move and another “project” I’ll tell you about.  So for the two people who are interested, […]

I promise I’ll get back to WoW soon.  In the meantime, I wrote up a little overview on Blogger vs. Wordpress, and Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org.  Nothing advanced, but I had a lot of bookmarks from doing my own research that I collated together with my own experiences.

After spending the prior week cruising Wordpress […]

I logged back into Flickr and the screenshot titles I was sure I entered in when I uploaded the shots weren’t there.  So evidently I must not have saved them correctly.  Regardless, I’ve added titles to the two screenshots that I think are the right ones based on your comments.  If you need/want to change […]

I’ve been playing around with various themes for my new, self-hosted blog.  Long story short, I’m having a hard time making a decision.  Some many themes, so little time…
Not really.  There are literally hundreds of Wordpress themes to choose from, but by the time you weed out the goofy looking ones, pick the ones that […]

I got a comment from Game Dame on my WoW Resolutions list.  Seems The Dame is interested in my experiences transferring my blog from Wordpress-hosted to self-hosted.  Since many of us use Wordpress as our blogging platform, I had fully intended to write some general impressions about my move for those of you that may […]
