Winter Veil is a time fer meetin’ up wi’ yer friends and havin’ a pint, maybe a carrot juice or somethin’ for the elf-inclined types.  Ah’v made a few new aquaintances this year an’ ah’m proud tae introduce ye to them.

I decided it was time to get off my arse and update my blogroll a wee bit – I’ve added quite a few to my feed reader since the last time I updated (over 6 months ago) and been overly slugging about getting them actually linked.  I’ve also started putting things into categories – something I’m not overly keen on but my links section is getting rather large…  If you think I’ve assigned you wrongly or feel you belong in a particular category then poke me – I’ve only sorted the ones so far which felt ‘obvious’ to me as it was 4am and I didn’t feel like much deep thinking.

I don’t usually post about other blogs unless I’m replying to a post they’ve made but, then, I don’t ‘usually’ post about any one thing in particular.  I wanted to highlight a few of the blogs I’ve been introduced to this year which I think others might enjoy – I know most people will likely know them already as I’m often late when it comes to catching on to new blogs but someone out there might find some benefit in these links.

Tree Bark Jacket – A tree flavoured druid in a progression minded guild,  Keeva’s posts are interesting and range from light general posts to some strong looks at the current state of healing as well as other info-packed posts.  Everything comes wrapped up in a very pretty package, too – her ‘kill shots’ for the various bosses are beautifully done and she’s a female tauren to boot (the best kind of druid)!

Secret Agent Cat – This blog and it’s author are crazily fun – Tigerfeet’s posts range from the obscure (saurkraut during raid time) to the informational (gems for kitties) – but are always a fun read.

The Druid Team – This trio of druidlets are doing something a bit different and their adventures whilst doing so are always a joy to read – One druid of each spec, clearing their way up through all the content and enjoying the ride.

The View From Down Here – Namthe is from my own server and I’ve somehow only managed to bump into him once! I don’t always agree with his opinions but his posts are interesting – covering a wide range of topics, with a general tank-flavouring, and often mirroring the issues which are also in the forefront of my mind, within the game.

Shield’s Up – Drug has very strong opinions and states them well in his blog – if you’re an aspiring resto shaman I recommend adding this blog to your feed.

Hoof N’ Healz – Another resto-shammy blog which I’ve enjoyed reading -  Jager has some guides up on healing Naxx as well as several discussion pieces on specs and gylphs.

Artisan Level – This is a blog I was linked to fairly recently and am enjoying for its relaxed mix of topics from the general point of view of a guild leader.

Binary Colors - I’m not quite sure how to describe Binary Colors except that it’s incredibly fun to read and written in a somewhat captivating manner.   Go check it out!

I’ll probably be rejigging a few things over the next couple of days – my character page was all out of date, for instance, and I want to add that pretty recent achievements thingy to my sidebar.  First of all, though, I need to reinstall windows on my laptop, install Wrath and get the new model-viewer working so I can actually get some nice images working for the site again!
