Just realised the WoW in an Hour link is the old domain too – it’s still up and about a wowinanhour.gameldar.com.

Came back to it trying to scout out a mage pvp blog (other than yours!) Thanks for Scroll of Resurrection I’m going to be getting my fingers dirty and icy…

I did a similar thing adding a “Hall of Fame”

It contains Out of Mana, Forbearance, BRK, Resto 4 Life, and PPI.

I need to do some spring cleanup myself, nothing like a good air out of a blog to shake the dust out of the corners! *eyes the CSS she hasn’t messed with yet*

I’m not sure if you can use it, but there’s a WordPress plugin called Broken Link Checker by Janis Elsts that does what it says on the tin. It’ll provide you with a list of everything on the blogroll (and on the posts/pages) that’s not answering and it only takes a few seconds to find out if it’s really gone or if they just rearranged things.

Hobbies tend to be cyclical things, so I’m not really surprised the WoW community waxes and wanes. I played City of Heroes on and off for years before I finally wandered away from the game. My WoWing prior to dual-boxing heavily depended on if I had and friends that were still playing—and I’m only in Lotro because RL friends have kidnapped me thus.

Most of my WoW experience is second-hand through blogs (I don’t raid, I have horrible luck with rares, etc) so I certainly hope that folks hang around—but I also don’t expect them to. In the end blogging is supposed to be fun, and folks only hang around as long as the fun does.

And I’m too terrified of trying to keep up with Twitter, so… yeah.

Yeah, at least many of the ex-bloggers are still Twitters.. still in the community whether writing or not.. often prolific commenters, so not lost to us.

When my feedreader was full, I was always struggling to keep up… then the inevitable “Mark All As Read” was required.

My Blogroll is more of a bookmark page. Yes I read them, but not on any regular basis & I remember when I 1st discovered blogs, it was always so hard to find “one more blog”… so when I started writing, I tried to capture everything I came across… for my benefit as well as the reader’s.

Oh I was supposed to comment on the dead blogs. I am a regular culler of my blog roll, but people like Keeva stay around my twitter so she’s never really gone to me.

Your blogroll is… eye boggling.

No wonder you don’t have time to read. Looking at your blogroll makes me scared about the amount I would need to read…

Fixed.

Yes you are definitely there, but tbh no earlier than yesterday.

I discovered today that people I have been reading and feedreading for years weren’t on my blogroll. It think it just got to be that they were so familiar that “of course they are on the blogroll”.

I’ve corrected a few of those oversights in the last couple of days, but I expect there are more to come.

Oo I am on there – thanks! However I can’t claim all of posterous – I’m just hosted on there – official title is ‘The Third Drawer’.

So many in the Australiasian/Oceanic category too that I didn’t know of/realise. – I’ll have to take a look.
