			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My poor, poor F5 key.  I know mine is getting a workout, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not alone.  I&#8217;ll be hoping against hope that I can get an invite to the beta, but at the same time I realize the prospects aren&#8217;t all that great.  (And no, having a resonably successful WoW blog gets your nowhere in that department.)  They&#8217;ve said its purely random, and with 10 million plus playing, maybe I should give the F5 key a rest.</p>
<p>The good thing is that SHOULD I get in, there is no NDA, so I can blog about it at will.  And believe me, I will.</p>
<p>In other blog related news, PartTimeDruid hit some big milestones this week.  I&#8217;ve topped 200 subscribers, which I was hoping to reach by the end of the month.  Yay for being ahead of schedule!  We&#8217;ll see if I can maintain that level.  Also, I reached the 25,000 overall hits mark for the blog.  Woohoo!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny, when I started this thing I had perhaps a dozen subs in the first month or so, and roughly 40-50 hits a day.  Now I have over 200 subscribers and regularly average 300 or more hits per day.  This is all thanks to you guys, the readers.  I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;ve enjoyed my blog.</p>
<p>I figure it&#8217;s a good time to highlight what the most popular posts have been.  Here is what people have loved to read:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://parttimedruid.com/2008/04/16/fresh-70-resto-druid-gear-cheat-sheet/">Fresh 70 Resto Druid Gear Cheat Sheet</a> (4,140 reads) This has been a popular post from the beginning. I tried to put something together that was simple and direct.  Most gear posts are more &#8220;gear lists,&#8221; I tried to give very specific direction in what you should get for each slot to gear up quickly.</li>
<li><a href="http://parttimedruid.com/2008/03/20/casual-druid-shopping-list-24-badge-gear/"> Casual Druid Shopping List: 2.4 Badge Gear</a> (2,138 reads) People love the 2.4 badge gear, and this was my attempt to simplify things for the druiding types.  Again, I tried to give REAL opinions, not just a list.</li>
<li><a href="http://parttimedruid.com/2008/04/04/magisters-terrace-resto-druid-gear/">Magisters&#8217; Terrace: Resto Druid Gear</a> (1,257 reads) Let&#8217;s face it, people love gear posts.  They will continue as gear is added in Wrath and beyond.</li>
<li><a href="http://parttimedruid.com/2008/04/07/resto-druid-5-things-you-should-know/"> Resto Druid:  5 Things You Should Know</a> (1,256 reads) This was my first post that put me on the map.  I roused the interest of some big time bloggers (<a href="http://www.resto4life.com">Phaelia</a>, for one) that in turn roused more interest in my blog.  I will probably do a rehash of this post at some point, as it was a little on the harsh side.</li>
<li><a href="http://parttimedruid.com/2008/06/03/top-five-fighting-wow-apathy/">Top 5: Fighting WoW Apathy</a> (1,079 reads) This was the next post that really pushed me a long.  It got the notice of WoW Insider, and a post about my post really helped me out.  Some people love WI, some people hate WI, for me I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s there.</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s heavy on gear posts, for sure, but I can see why.  I&#8217;m a big fan of them myself, or I wouldn&#8217;t write them!  They take a little more work than your average post, and you&#8217;re bound to miss stuff with them, but I still enjoy writing them.  Anyhow, that&#8217;s all for now.  Thanks to everyone who has read and continues to read my blog.  I appreciate it!</p>
