Why FeedBurner?

As many of you know, I’m the so-called “wikibrarian” (wiki + librarian) for the Twisted Nether Wiki’s Big List of Blogs (or, as I like to call it, the BLOB). It’s my job to turn the information bloggers provide us into a wiki page for each blog submitted. One of the most important pieces of…

Website Note: Subscribe to Comments Now Active!

No idea why I haven’t done this before, and no excuse for not having done it earlier than today, since I’ve been taking advantage of the feature on other blogs for weeks now! At any rate, I’ve implemented a "Subscribe to Comments" addon for the site. It’s always been one of my goals to interact…

Hard-Hat Zone!

You may not see it now, especially if you’re looking at this in a feed reader, but the Aerie is about to undergo a major overhaul (see what I did there? gotta be a word for it!). I just purchased the Thesis premium WordPress theme from DIYThemes, with an eye to making this place look…

DPS: How to Earn Your Healer’s Love

Early last month, Amava left a comment on my request for what you readers might like to see me write about this year. His comment: Something I’d be interested to hear more about from the perspective of a person who plays on both sides of the fence: what are the little things that healers notice…

Bloggers Helping Bloggers: A True Story

The Background I am a guild officer, and the de facto healing lead for our 25-man runs. (Well, I’m also the healing lead on 10-mans I’m in, which aren’t many lately.) As such, I make the healing assignments, and try to assess the performance of the healers, both individually, and as a team. We have…

Early Christmas at the Aerie

I just upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.7, and I’m in love! The QuickPress feature (in which I’m typing this) is just perfect for me…a quick and easy way to post an update to the blog when I don’t have the time or inclination for a full-blown article. And just to keep a WoW…

Wrath Minus 10

The Hunter Kestrel went on a Kara clear Friday night, and [item]Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix[/item] finally dropped. Yay! Of course, by the end of the run, I was at 146 Badges of Justice: just four short of the number needed for the [item]Crossbow of Relentless Strikes[/item]. I got two more via [item]Shattered Sun Supplies[/item]…

New Features Added to the Aerie

I find Lester Chan’s WordPress plugins to be invaluable in helping me manage Kestrel’s Aerie.  One of my favorites is featured via the WP Plugins page here, which lists (and links) all the plugins I use. (Yes, I’m a plugin junkie in WoW as well!) I just added a couple more of Lester’s plugins for…

New Toy At The Aerie: Help Make It Grow!

Introduction All the cool kids are talking about it! Well, Lorelle on WordPress is, anyway (but I found it before she blogged about it; for once, I’m ahead of the curve!).1 Ozh, from Planet Ozh, has created the Liz Strauss Comment Counter.2 Simply put, anytime a comment is added to your blog, the counter goes…

Looking for Suggestions

For some unknown reason (and believe me, I’m tired of troubleshooting blog glitches!) two plugins I used in my earlier theme, Enhanced Categories and Enhanced Links, no longer work in the current theme. Even if they did, I’m not sure I would want to use them: Both of them take up a lot of real…
