This post is part of Saga\u2019s 20 Days of WoW Blogging Challenge<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

When I started my blog, I knew I wanted a fun name. Blogs I read at the time were named Blessing of Kings<\/a> and Banana Shoulders<\/a> and the like.<\/p>\n

I knew, though, that I didn’t want to focus just on paladin stuff. Sure, I was playing my paladin in raids, but my guildies still (mostly) called my Kurn and that was still very much my in-game identity (and still is).<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to talk about hunter stuff, about how I hated that Beast Mastery was all the rage and all you needed was to spam-click a macro to get stupidly good DPS.<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to talk about raiding and the trials a raid group goes through while pushing through bosses and progression.<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to talk about guild stuff and what my guild was doing, both inside of raids and out.<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to talk about dailies and pally stuff and healing and alts.<\/p>\n

It was going to be conglomeration of whatever I wanted to talk about. The only thing tying everything together was that these were going to be my thoughts, my ideas, my opinions.<\/p>\n

Kurn’s Corner<\/em> seemed right. There was alliteration (which I do love) and there was a broad sense to it. I’ve never felt trapped by my blog’s name — this is where I write whatever the heck I want to write. No constraints in terms of expectations apart from “this is what Kurn is thinking about today”. While I’ve done a lot of posting about raiding and healing and paladins, I know that I don’t have<\/em> to limit myself to these topics, and that suits me just fine.<\/p>\n

So Kurn’s Corner is a collection of Kurn’s thoughts about the World of Warcraft and that’s why the name has stuck since Day 1. :)<\/p>\n
