I mentioned in my last blog post that I've been writing a World of Warcraft blog for almost 11 years now. It hasn't all been completely consistent. There have been years where I've been fairly productive (although I've never come anywhere close to once a day) and years where it's been pretty slim. I think in general, I've tried to generally get pretty close to every two weeks, but even there, I haven't always quite made it.
My absolute high was 2010, my first full year of blogging, where I had 77 posts. The last 3 years have been lows for me and I was at 22-23 post per year for 2017-19.
One of things that I noticed in my blogging history in the past is that at times, when I was getting a little bored with a content lull on World of Warcraft, I'd explore other games and write about those. So there are definitely some posts in those earlier years about things like RIFT, SWTOR, Wildstar and Diablo 3. The first post about another game was in September 2011 where I spent some time on RIFT. And January 2012 I started messing with SWTOR. The year 2014 was heavy on both Diablo and Wildstar.
Recently I've backed off on trying other MMO's (honestly there hasn't been a new release for PC that has really intrigued me since Wildstar), so when the content gets slow, now so does the posting.
A lot of my blog has been about leveling progress and strategies, but there have been a lot of other topics that I've covered, including leveling professions, easy gearing of alts and there was a brief period of time during MOP when I got into pet battling. It's mostly a way for me to talk about what I'm doing and why. It also became a way of documenting my frustration with drops on things like the Headless Horseman mount.
So this will be post 428 on my Warcraft blog, which is something I'm fairly proud of. Part of the reason I like participating in Blaugust / Blapril is because, personally, I've gotten a lot out of blogging and really hope to encourage others to do the same.
Cheers,
Joar
