It&#8217;s not unlike my real-life spaces, to be honest! I guess I carry my clutter everywhere with me. ;)<\/p>\n<p>My front page has my twitter feed, random polls I put up from time to time, achievement feeds, category links, links to other blogs, armory links, all kinds of stuff. It&#8217;s feeling a little much and it certainly could be organized better. So, at some point in the next week or so, expect the layout to change significantly. Expect me to break something at some point. Expect the blog to be inaccessible sometime. I&#8217;m not sure anything will break, nor am I sure it&#8217;ll be inaccessible, but whenever I&#8217;m confident that I won&#8217;t break something, I do. :P<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also planning on putting in some code for some Google text ads, primarily to help defray hosting costs, but also because I&#8217;m interested in building up the site a bit more and if I&#8217;m going to put in more energy than I currently do, I&#8217;d kind of like to see if I can get any returns on it. I rather suspect that advertising on a personal kind of blog is kind of frowned upon in the blogging community, because I don&#8217;t see a lot of it. That said, I thought I&#8217;d throw in some very simple advertisements while doing the redesign and if my traffic drops substantially because of it, I&#8217;ll remove it. My overall goal is to share information about World of Warcraft from a variety of perspectives (but obviously the Holy Paladin perspective tends to be the main one these days) and to share my raiding experiences. That does include random daily frustrations, annoyances and the like, but also the awesomeness of progression. When we get LK heroic down on 25-man, I&#8217;ll be posting about it, that&#8217;s for sure. I plan to write about Ruby Sanctum. I plan to write about Cataclysm.<\/p>\n<p>I plan to write about a lot of things and for quite some time, so if advertisements will prevent a significant amount of people from coming here and reading all the stuff I&#8217;ve written or plan to write, I&#8217;ll drop them from the site.<\/p>\n<p>In the month of April, I had 4532 pageviews from 2729 visits, for an average of 1.66 pages per visit. Average time on site was 2m22s. So we&#8217;ll see if any of that drops for June or so, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, thanks to everyone for reading and I hope you&#8217;ll be reading for quite some time. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;m not sure exactly what percentage of my readers actually visit the site (averaging about 100 visits a day) and what percentage read from an RSS reader (no idea what this number would be like), I&#8217;m not sure if you&#8217;ve noticed that my blog site here has become extremely cluttered.
