How do you get your subscription reading rate up and keep it up? There are a lot of factors involved, and a lot of various methods for getting the word out about your blog, but this is quick and easy and greatly impacted my subscription rate within a week.

I created a sitemap using the WordPress sitemap plugin. This baby worked like a charm. Google Sitemap Generator for WordPress v2 Final
I went back over my query results of last week and put those words into my keywords list in the header.
I started using more terms and keywords in my posts that I know people are interested in at the moment. If they come to the site through a search and like the site, they have a chance of subscribing.
I started up like crazy on MyBlogLog for some community.

Deadr’s New Spec: Discipline

January 25, 2007 By Gitr 3 Comments

I know, I know…before you all have a cow that I’m not a Shadow priest anymore, hold off on that for a bit. With all due respect to Vorenis and the other priests that say I should stay Shadow until I max out my leveling or become a healbot, I want to make my reasoning clear.

I cannot find anywhere actuall numbers or examples of what someone can do specced one way or another when it comes to everyday playing. I have found some good resources of examples for doing damage and healing for Holy vs. Shadow specs, but never Discipline. Add to that, I don’t really care how much one spell or one heal will do. It’s gameplay that matters to me. What will get me to my end goal fastest or safest?

Guide to Re-speccing Your Talents

January 25, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

I guess it never occurred to me that someone had never respecced before yesterday. I have done it twice with Gitr, and my ex-roommate must have done it 15 times or so. I’m usually pretty conscientious when I choose a talent point, so it has never been a big deal to me.

But for those of you who have never emptied your talent trees to try another build, here is how you do it.

Go to any of your class trainers in any village, town, or city. They say they are there to help you, and they are.

WoW’s Greatest Little Items You Have Never Heard Of

January 24, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

Thanks to Noggaddicts’ post on Overpowered white items of epic greatness!, I have got to put my 2 cents in on these goods. I am a big fan of powerful items, and these actually turn out to be pretty cheap when you consider how much money mobs are dropping and how much the quest turn-ins are getting. I have earned over 25g with Gitr in under 5 hours of just playing. I haven’t been farming or selling on the AH. It’s all been Vendor Trashed or equipped.

Here are the items I am going to get, for sure:

Stone of Stupendous Springing Strides “A simple stone that grants the wearer the ability to bound over obstacles and across small gaps!”

Deadr to Reset Talents Tonight

January 24, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

I have done some considerable reading and ran with a priest in Outlands that was Discipline tree. He said it was a really nice blend of healing and damage abilities. After running through a talent calculator, I think I like the outcome of what I plugged in. My goal is to overcome the loss of Shadow Damage with Mana increases and overall independence from Shadow-only play.

What do you think of using this to run into Outlands with? The last points to go in will be in the Holy Tree. I will be 46/5/0.

What to Do About Gear at This Point?

January 24, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

Deadr will be able to craft/wear several pieces of armor that he has really been looking forward to getting at level 57, but with the Outlands just one level after that, would that be crazy? I picked up Tailoring with the whole intent being to craft the Truefaith Vestments and Chromatic Cloak. What do you say?

I have made a minor change to the sidebar on my template for individual pages. Please head over to either my About page or my Priest Set page to see if you like the change and think it should go on the other templates. Thanks.
