So, on Monday I discovered that last week’s problem had recurred, even more virulently. Unfortunately, in fixing the site we’ve had to abandon the comments on the last two posts, for which I’m very sorry. I do have copies of everyone’s comments, via email notification, and can repost them (with attribution) if necessary.
For the next [...]

4 July 09: Unfortunately this post has lost all its comments due to technical reasons. Further comments and reposts are welcome!
Those of you who’ve tried to hit the site today would have noticed it was unavailable, and those of you who’ve subscribed by RSS recently would have noticed some rather unsightly (and thoroughly unauthorised) ads.
Sorry [...]

My sincere apologies for the protracted radio silence. A combination of health issues and RL issues conspired to shut me up for several weeks — and then I managed to totally bork my WP database such that I couldn’t make new posts. After some hammering (and some begging of help from an SQL-savvy friend) I [...]

So, you may notice it’s been a bit quiet around these parts lately (and I’m overdue with Part 3 of the Argent Tournament guide, for which I apologise).

The blog downtime is over and all the dust should be settling. If you notice any problems, please contact me on Twitter (my username there is Siha) or via email, at siha @ bananashoulders.

Expect half an hour or so of downtime sometime today or tomorrow; I need to install some updated software, and I’ll have to take the blog down while I’m doing so.

As so often happens, I’m taking a leaf out of Leafshine’s book (hah, sorry).
As with so many other WoW blogs, 2008 was the first full year of Banana Shoulders’ existence. I took a long hiatus across May – I posted only six times between mid-April and mid-June – but despite that, traffic numbers returned [...]

So, it’s been kind of quiet around here lately, hasn’t it?
Yeah, I thought so.
I’m sorry, guys, I really am! I have all kinds of posts lined up mentally – gear lists, jewelcrafting guides, rep guides, wallpaper posts, paladin mechanics discussions, et cetera… and I can’t tear myself away from the game long enough to write [...]

Today, November the 1st, is my one-year blogiversary.
It was one year ago today that I posted a welcome and an introduction. Since then I’ve written thousands of words across 206 posts, I’ve received 1289 comments, and had over 200,000 pageviews. I hope the next year’s worth of content will prove as useful!
Happy blog day to [...]

Just FYI: the test realms are about to go down to update with a new patch. I’ll be issuing a revision of the Inscription guide a few hours after they’re back up; I don’t want to revise it now, only to find that I have to do it all again tomorrow.
