Leafshine: Lust for Flower

BaaaaaAAAAAAck…

Miss me?

Oh, By The Way…

A couple of people have asked why I've been so quiet since Christmas.

Well, the truth is that I'm on holiday somewhere rather lovely, and been busy doing holiday-related things, which usually don't involve blogging or WoW.

Normal service (as far as anything is normal around here) should kick in next week, so I'll see you all then.

I bet I'll be the only WoW blogger left who hasn't hit 85…

Leafy's 2010 Top 5 Posts

2010 is winding down, with 2011 standing, nervous and eager in the wings. I'm technically on holiday, but I'd thought I'd just round up my top 5 posts of the year by traffic:

1. I am an unique snowflake - a stupid picture caption post. Everything you need to know about this blog is contained therein… (IIRC, I was linked by WoWInsider for this post.)
2. My little changing everything pony - I run some estimated numbers on sales of the sparkle pony. I still think it changes everything.
3. The invisible War Against The Nightmare - a post in which I rail against the lack of reflection of major plot points from the Stormrage book in the game world. Gets lots of search traffic. 
4. EXCLUSIVE: Blizzard accuses Leafy of Ninajing - another stupid pic cap post, from the Blizz April Fools.
5. RealID, Social Theory and Blizzard's Community Problems - my token serious post of the year. Some meditations on the direction Blizz is going with its community, trying to take the heat out of the hysteria that built up around RealID.

So, basically, expect more stupid pic cap posts and meditations on current Blizzard events next year. It's all that you deserve. ;-)

Happy New Year, all. 

New Expansion, New Leafshine, New Lust For Flower

All change! 

Cataclysm is here, and changes are in the air. There's whole new looks:

New friends to make:

And thus, time for a brand new Lust for Flower!

Out goes the Borean Tundra backdrop and old-style tree form in the header. In comes a new, Cataclysmic header, with the new look Leaf, and a whole new blog design to go with it.

Whaddya think?

Like Leafshine

Since Typepad, the blogging service I use, have made it so very easy to add Facebook's new Like facility to this blog, I've done so. Off to the right is a button which allows you to Like Leafshine: Lust for Flower, and then any posts here will appear in your Facebook News Feed.

Neat, huh?

Back. Honest.

Note to self: don't announce your return to WoW just before you go on holiday. It only makes you look stupid.

So, I'm back from holiday to find out that Typepad, my blogging platform, have had the decorators in while I was away and everything looks different. But better. So I'm just playing around with the platform again. 

And stuff.

Anyway, I have a long post in the works about the way I would have liked Wrath to have played out, but you'll have to wait for that.

So, um. 

Hi?

Technical Fault: Comments

Just a quick apology to anyone who has left a comment here recently. There's a technical problem at my blog host's end that means that names on comments are not correctly showing as links through to the commenter's blogs.

I'm assure that Typepad engineers are "working on it", and that the missing URLs will be restored soon.

Apologies about that. 

Reminder: Hell, No, We Won't Go

Just a reminder that I'm generally a "spoiler-free" player. I don't go on the test realms, and I try to avoid anything but the most basic information about patches until they go live on the servers.

So, this blog will most certainly NOT be your source for all things 3.1-related. :)
