I switched our guild site over to WordPress some time ago, but then I didn’t have what you have now before, but a regular HTML site. So going to WordPress was awesome since it made updating News, Recruitment and adding Widgets etc. so much easier.

I’m a big fan of WordPress, but I guess it depends on what you want from the site. The current one you have I’m sure works fine too, but personally – I’d go WordPress all the way

Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on that!

I have gotten the green light from our server admin to put the wordpress program on the server, and he gave me instructions for how to download it and all that good stuff, so I may take a look at it this weekend, depending on how caught up with other things I get!

I did go ahead and do the achievement with Beru

I’ve given the website frontpage more thought – a lot more thought – and I’m fairly certain that I’m going to give it a spin. We’ll see how it turns out! If it’s awful, I can always renew what we’ve got now, right?

haha, I’m pretty certain that my worgen will end up being another druid as well!

Of course, my goblin is going to be a rogue, as it’s the only class I don’t have at least to level 70 as yet. Here’s hoping that I can survive rogue leveling!

I basically have just decided I’ve too much going on, and looking at all of the empty quest achievements was overwhelming for me. So now I just afk somewhere hoping to get torched by Deathwing while I do other things to prepare us for Cataclysm

I actually did it on Earenn back with the hilts were introduced. Although, I did get the mace with her, I do agree that the sword looks awesome!

That being said, I did cave last night and do the quest with Beru for completeness’ sake

Thank you so much for that! I’m definitely going to check it out!

I actually customized the CSS on this blog…and then had to have someone come in and fix it for me when I botched it beyond my repair abilities. So I absolutely think that I’ll be looking for a theme I can largely utilize “out of the box”

Re: WordPress, I echo what Kaelynn said. It sounds worse than it is. I think I set up my own database when I first installed WP and it wasn’t very hard to do. My current host offers some kind of 1-click WP install, so you might want to ask about that too.

The admin panel is similar, but not identical. You’ll get used to it pretty fast I’d guess… it just has more stuff.

(If you need help, feel free to e-mail me.)

Do it on Beru. It’s only a week until your DK can get a new shiny

Good luck with the website stuff… I’m still thinking of moving away from blogger but the thought of having to do my own coding scares me!

I stopped worrying about redoing classic loremaster now…will have plenty of time for that after 85. Instead I have leveled a new character (another druid, *sigh*) 1-60 to experience the rebuild classic experience.
