Growing Pains

Hopefully you aren’t receiving any errors on the front end, but things are still pretty wonky behind the scenes. I hope to have this resolved soon. In addition to the mess of trying to upgrade my hosting services, I’ve had a manic week in general. However, once things start to calm in the next few days (hopefully), I’m anxious to …

SNAFU

I apologize to those of you who’d tried to view the site within the past 30+ hours. Yesterday at approximately 6pm PST my webhost suspended my account due to the server load it was causing in its shared environment. Problem was… my VPS was not quite ready for me, so my site went down for the count. More on this …

Post Number 100

I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal. I just discovered this morning that Alltop is listing me on their aggregate WoW blog page, so I figured what could be more fitting than announcing this fact in my 100th post! I’m sure I barely sneaked through the back door in order to gain entry, …
