Accessing a WordPress Blog’s Comment Feed
Have you ever been reading a blog post, posted a comment and wanted to keep an eye on what other people had to say? And been frustrated that there’s no apparent way to subscribe to the comments to avoid re-visiting over and over to check for replies?

The Losing AV gives Zero Honour Fallacy
Every other month or so, there’s another common QQ theme, and the current one is about AV post 2.3 - the complaint that losing nets you next to no honour, making queuing up pointless.
Now I’m holding the opinion that AV needs fixes, both in its design and more generally through improvements with the AFK mechanism, [...]
First WordPress update performed
Tonight WordPress released a minor update with some bug fixes(version 2.3.2). It was with a slight apprehension that I went about the upgrade, not least because the backup plugin I was using was acting up at first. As you can see, though, it all went down smoothly in the end.
The only thing which I had [...]
Google Polymorph Focus
Reviewing search terms used to reach you is always amusing. Now why I don’t have any leave-children-behind searches to puzzle about, the above search term still stands out.
I had posted a needlessly complicated Polymorph (Sheep) Macro before as a template for generic CC spells. Here’s a shorter version:
#showtooltip
/focus [target=focus, nodead, harm] focus; [harm][target=mouseover, harm][target=noexists] [...]
From Blogger to WordPress: One Gotcha
Reviewing where I stand after the initial awe of discovery has died down, there’s one thing I’ve missed when I moved from Blogger: images.
Indeed, the importing process will get all your posts and comments off blogger without issues, but it won’t copy over the images you inserted in your original blog posts. All screenshots will [...]
From Blogger to WordPress: A few Pointers

And another Tweak to Altitis
Today is my “toying around with the blog” day. There’s a very nice WoW DB search gadget available to iGoogle, but it doesn’t seem to work in blogger yet. So for the heck of it, and because the Lootables.com logo with their search API is ugly on a white background, I just slapped together a [...]
Adding Google Gadgets to your Blogger Blog
Here’s another nifty (albeit still beta so use at your own risk and don’t blame me if your blog goes poof!) addition to Blogger: you can now add Google Gadgets to your layout.
For that, go to draft.blogger.com, and modify your Layout. There’s several new Page Elements you can try out, among which you’ll find Google [...]
The new 2.3 GCD and Stopcasting on Live
As anticipated previously, the new GCD mechanism which prevents any command to be sent to the server while the client is under a global cooldown is causing issues for several classes.
Instead of going into the full details again, just know that the Blues are aware that this affects playing in a negative way and are [...]
Blog tweaking: one Newsfeed to rule them all
In my quest to make Altitis more to my liking, I had redirected my post feed to Feedburner. However, at the bottom of the site one would still find the old “subscribe to posts (Atom)” link, which would give access to the original, non-feedburned feed.
After almost gouging my own eyes out trying to find how [...]
