Improvements coming soon!

Well, it's only day two, and I'm already thinking I need to improve how I operate this blog. First of all, the computer I play wow on is not the same one I write the blog with, which means that every night, I'm going to have to upload my images to photobucket, pre-cropped. Then I can use it here, which means I'm going to have to know what im writing about a day in advance.

If you want to read a blog without photo's, today is the day! I'll just give a little update with the last 24 hrs of play. Im only doing so because nothing special really happened.

Basically started the day easy, during my lunch I ran a Heroic on my Death Knight. Which I normally do as a tank just because its 10x faster to get a group. Group went well, couldn't complain much. Later in the evening I ran some more. Some bashing was needed, as a gearscore 4500 Warrior could only pull 1200 DPS, and he also didn't use battle shout because the last group he was in "Yelled" at him for it! So he got a little upset and left the group. So in comes a shaman in his replacement. 1500dps! (...). At least he knew to use heroism on the last boss.

So here I am, 35 minutes before raid time. I decided I have time for one more heroic. Queue. Join a group that is on the last 3 pulls of Forge of Souls. I swear to god they must have been in there at least 2 hrs based on how the last 3 pulls and the boss went. A Shaman (gearscore 4800) in raid gear could barely keep me and the group up. actually, me and himself up, the rest of the group died from I don't know what. The shaman had nearly no mana left when I killed the boss. we grabbed our loot, I told him he was a POS healer and left the group.

I think in future posts Im going to have to make sense of what I write, make it in to some sort of learning experience that everyone can benefit off of. But for now I'll leave it at that. (ICC went well for the first 4 bosses, rot gut gave us some trouble). I'll try to get some images up and do a little bashing for you guys later on today.

Maintenance day. Good day to start a blog

Well, I imagine close to no one will read this blog, since it is the first of many Epic (read: Purple) Posts. The difficult part of a first post is that it has to have some sort of meaning, and has to lure people in to read future posts. The problem is however, is I can be very boring, therefore probably not a very good blogger. And add to that, I'm not very informed, and I'm not the best writer, let alone, getting my ideas to form words and sentences that will make sense to people other than myself. But alas, we shall proceed.

I have recently been reading many blogs. Most of them on WoW economy, auction-housing, making gold and the likes. All very informative, often funny (to me anyways), and actually quite useful. And that's what I think makes a successful blog, one that people can use! So how will my blog be useful to you? Well it probably won't, I won't lie. Likely because of the direction this blog will end of taking, I haven't even quite figured that out yet.

Well if you made it his far, I might as well explain to you my idea on which way I would LIKE it to go. I'm thinking this blog will serve as a place where I can talk about my experiences in day to day WoW. Things from leveling toons and professions, tricks I've learned, raiding, instancing, People that make me laugh and why, (people that make me angry and why), auction housing, etc... And no, no censoring. If i see a gear scores 4000 hunter in Caverns of time pulling 1000 DPS, (You know who you are! Thankfully, I forgot) your name will be posted! and screen shots will be included (too bad I can't make them pop-up).

Since WoW is down for maintenance at the moment, I can't quite update you all on whatever there is to update you on, I will leave this post at that. If you have any comments or suggestions on creating this a successful blog, please do so!
