We have discovered (and when I say "We" I really mean "I") some new blogs that are really really impressing us (me). Now I realize our readership isn't that fantastic but for the three people who do read this blog, who may not yet know of these other blogs (it could happen), I thought I would share.
Mark of the Wild is a blog by a druid. And his adventures in WoW. He has a very easy reading blog, and it's quite enjoyable.
The next two are brand new blogs. If you read BRK (and, let's face it - you probably do - his blog is better), you already know of these guys, but their latest posts deserve a kudos.
Arms and Fury is a blog dedicated to warriors. No, I don't play a warrior myself (I lasted to level 14. Woot), but if I ever did, this would be a great blog to reference.
A View from Behind is dedicated to rogues. Can you guess my new favourite blog? This guy gets it. And you may see me respeccing very soon.
Of course, these three now are on our link list. Enjoy!

Well, maybe...
I discovered this on Kinless' blog and thought I would play along.
It's pretty close, if Gnomes were of the Horde faction....

On being a rogue
I have been spending some time these last few days trying to get Kaewhy up to 64. Kudos to Blizzard, they are dragging the BC thing out as long as possible - grinding a level these days take FOREVER.
Now don't get me wrong - I am loving every minute of every hour I snatch out of my day to play. And I am totally loving the fact that I am finally outfitted to play PvP - I am at par with my faction mates who have epic'd themselves out pre-expansion. Getting ganked these days is more a tribute to the skill of the player now than his equipment.
As an example. Himhotepp (who hit 65 btw - group portal to Shattrath!) and Kaewhy were off gathering something for some quest. I don't remember exactly, but it was in the area where there are pretty lockboxes which are handy for rogues to bring up their lock picking skill. So, naturally, there were a few of us around. One I will mention, was a night elf, level 70. Hiss.
He conveniently waited until the other two levle 70 horde players disappeared from view and proceeded to pummel the life out of Himhotepp and moved on to me. Knowing my inabilities I hit my speed to boot out since vanish would be useless against a player 7 levels higher, regardless of how I am specced. And he used a simple distract to stop me. Gah!
What could I do? Bow to the master, wait for my inevitable death, and learn that trick for the next time someone tries to run away on me. Lesson learned, master rogue, lesson learned.
I had been playing Vassylleen and got her to 14. I love being a rogue so much that I didn't mind the inability to kick (which I finally have! woot!) or hit evasion (which I also finally have, double woot!). I think it might be my personality - I like killing only the quest dude I have to kill, and move on. Yes, I don't get the xp of all the kills leading up to the main guy, but I finish quests faster.
Plus I like picking pockets. One is never broke as a rogue. Heee.

Oh - on the template change. That would be my bad. I was updating our side bar and apparently our old template did not fit with the new blogger beta way of thinking. This will be fixed as soon as I figure it out. Don't hold your breath.
