Posting from Gmail

Does it work, can it work? I'm writing this in Gmail, not near blogger, not in some wysiwyg editor, just in a boring ol' web based email app. This feature may hopefully get me posting more often, because it isn't happening very often. My plan for this blog was to have a central place for the guild to communicate outside of WoW, post WWS results, exciting news, raid information.....

But, the blog has sort of been forgotten, and I think its because most of us are on WoW most of the day anyway, so there's no reason to communicate outside of it :-) But its here anyway.

So, this is a test. Lets see if it makes it online anyway.

The Current Roster

Where did all the new people come from? Suddenly our little guild is twice the size it was just a week ago! This is a good thing. Kara and ZA will hopefully be that much easier to run, and maybe, just maybe we'll start ramping up for 25 mans. Though, we're only 2/3 of the way there at the moment. I love new people. And that puts the roster at (Most commonly seen toons listed):
(Alphabetically)

Bill [Hadlir, Anelia, Syriana]:: DPS (Heals soon)
Bobby [Nadia]:: DPS
'Boykin'* (sorry, I can't remember your name outright.) [Saiyanjab]:: Tank, dps
Dan [Bethy]:: DPS
Derek [Blastey, Modero]:: DPS, Heals
Jackie [Maoa]:: Hybrid (almost 70)
Jay [Kaylathis, Maari]:: DPS, Heals
John* [Netulta]:: DPS (almost 70)
Michael [Kinne, Kinnadin]:: Tank, DPS x2
Mike [Glol, Spacemoobery, Faore]:: Tank, DPS, Heals
Pam [Tsukii, Avianne, Hinomiko, Cheebee, Noirre]:: Tank, DPS, Heals
Rob [Bobo-mages, Bobo-shamans]:: DPS x3
Steve [Elluene]:: Heals
Trey* [Rko, Ytooj]:: DPS
Will [Beriothien]:: Heals (Maybe offtank or dps in the future)

And with Rob triple boxing and Michael dualboxing, that makes a full 18 toons online at once. That's pretty awesome.

Wowhead links

The new hubbub in the blogging world seems to be displaying items that are linked to one of the Big Three in WoW item databases. They are thottbott, allakhazam, and wowhead, the latter of which being my favorite. WoWead has the cleanest site and most navigable interface.

So, in keeping up with the Joneses, methinks item linking would be a boon to this blog. My intention is to list raid loot won each week. I hope it won't prove to be too difficult to keep up with. But knowing where this site ranks among my priorities, we'll see what happens.

A few examples:
(My wishlist)

Handguards of Malorne vs. Gloves of Preservation

Am I kind of greedy?
