We do what we can because we must.

So wowhead links just became a whole lot simpler! Wowhead just released a simple javascript package for blogs, so I've upgraded our template, and it will now create nice popup links for ANY outgoing wowhead item link automatically! If you want to be fancy, you can include the "class" attribute, which will color the links accordingly, and then you use "q1" for common, "q2" for greens, "q3" for blues, "q4" for purps, and "q5" for legendaries.

Non wowhead links are unaffected. It seems a lot faster and cleaner than the old allakhazam links, and it's certainly much easier for us to create. Here are some samples:


<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31109" class="q3" >[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]</a>

<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32044" class="q4">[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]</a>


Becomes:
[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]

[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]

This is also a good time to let you know that I bought my new S3 chestpiece! [Vengeful Gladiator's Leather Tunic]

/tar Other Blog; /cast Pickpocket; /cast Vanish

So, I was browsing some other wow blogs at work, and I saw this blogspot had javascript and css that was pretty cool for having mouseoverable wowhead links. I thought I'd use my crazy Rogue skills and ninja the code, so here we go:

[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]

[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]

Hoping this works, if you want to include wow-links like this in the future, use this code:

<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31109" class="rare" onmouseover="showWowitem(event,31109);" onmouseout="hideWowitem();">[Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight]</a>

<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32044" class="epic" onmouseover="showWowitem(event,32044);" onmouseout="hideWowitem();"">[Merciless Gladiator's Shanker]</a>

Plug in a new link, item number, name, and class, and it should work!

jyaaaan!

well, so i wanted to add the labels list thingy to the side bar and to do that i needed to upgrade the template to the latest and greatest. in so doing the old changes to the blog template were lost, however i tried to put them back as best i could.

if anything's missing, go ahead and add it back or lemme know. you can look at the old template in the template tab i think.

in other news, i have enuf g for my mount! now i just need to pvp for some tokens. think ima get a red horse. gyohoho

Me GUSTA La Armería (Dame mas Armería)

Hola from Peru, and Muchos Grácias a Meef para keeping me updatado en los happenings. I would be going through la withdrawal de WoW right now, were it not for his frequent updates (and the abundance of Coca Tea in this beautiful country).

However, I'm disappointado to inform you that my attempts to stalk you all via the armory have been foiled by a massive language barrier:



Though I did at one point receive a "Cinco" in AP Spanish, that was a long time ago, and my vocab never included stuff like "Aguante" (Stamina) and "Escarcha" (Frost¿). I suppose I'll have to wait til I get back to properly check y'all out.

BTW, I'm about a half hour outside of Machu Piichu, and not only is the internet cafe I'm using to write this ALSO a Chifa (Chinese Restaurant), but they have Vista on every machine. Just weird.

We've Upgraded!

Thanks to our former captain, Julius, we have been able to upgrade! Blogger is out of Beta! Anyhoo, it seems like while I've managed to get the hang of avoiding Fel Reavers, the lovely Alliance has taken to flying around on their uber mounts then swooping down and ganking us Horde folk.

Also, I'm nearly 62 still without doing a full run of Ramparts. Frickin' PUGs... but the good news is that I'm almost ready to pick up my mount upgrade and all my greens are now on par with a lot of the old 60 blue gear. Whoop whoop!

On a side note, I'll be playing even less than I have been due to art school starting. Eh, so it goes.
