I don’t know if I’m the only one who is in this situation: I can’t always play WoW on the same computer. In fact, I play on 4 separate computers: my crappy 5-year-old laptop that can barely run WoW, my brother’s newer computer, one of the super-nice systems that are available at my work (24-inch widescreens baby!), and the work computer at the front that serves as our till. (My boss suggested that one. Did I mention that I love my boss?) I also use a multitude of mods that I like to keep up to date on all the computers and all my characters. All in all, this was a frustrating endeavor until recently.
Now, I knew for a long time was that all the mods were located in a directory under the WoW install directory. What I found out more recently so that all your mod and character settings are located in a different WoW directory. So all that you need to do is to keep those files the same across all your computers and everything will remain constant. Then I came up with a simple solution to this. (With screenshots!)

Note: Unless you are a
Wordpress user or a web programmer geek, this post will probably be very boring to you.
If you’ve been using an installed version of Wordpress for your blog, you’ve probably noticed the little bar just under your admin menu to update to the latest verison 2.3.2. Apparently there’s some security fixes in there including the fix for a hack that allowed anyone to see your draft posts. Frankly, I wasn’t too worried about people seeing my draft posts (not like I have any national secrets or anything) but that little bar was bugging me because I’m almost OCD about keeping my software and stuff up-to-date.
Only doing this wasn’t simple for me because apparently the Wordpress scripts were using a little too much memory and I kept getting
Allowed Memory Size Exhausted Error. In frustration, I downgraded and upgraded two more times, only to get the same result. I was about to write a email to my webhost when I happened to check their support database and lo and behold, there was my answer! I created a custom php.ini file, placed it in the subdirectory that is this blog and bing! Everything knows works perfectly. Did I mention that I love
my webhost? Buy your hosting from her, she’s a super nice lady and has the cheapest prices you will ever see, I swear.
So, enough about that and onto a related topic that I’ve been meaning to cover for a while. Before, I wasn’t able to get
ItemStats working on this blog so I had come up with a
custom solution that was a little bit…
complicated. I actually ended up getting ItemStats to work but I was having problems with it dealing with the permalinks and I don’t even think the entire script is supported anymore…
Then
Thottbot, quickly followed by
WoWHead, came up with their own handy solutions in the form of a JavaScript that you just link to. Seriously, that was it. So, this is my little tutorial of how to implement it in a Wordpress blog:

This is a quick little guide for how a hunter can tame just about anything anywhere. It was inspired by the popularity that I’ve been getting from my
Horde taming on Azuremyst post.
Now let’s say you have your pet-to-be already picked out and you’re rarin’ to go. Oh, you actually don’t know what you want? Go to
Petopia, now. Really, I mean it, go.
Anyways, so now you’ve chosen your pet. Basically you need to know three things to tame it: where it is, where you are, and how to get from where you are to where it is.
The first one’s pretty easy. On Petopia,
Mania’s linked all the pet to Thottbot so you can see where they are found. Or if you wish, you could use
WoWHead as well.
The second one’s easy as well. I should hope that you know where your character is but if you don’t, just press ‘M’ in-game to pop up the map and you’ll see the name of area that you’re in.
Now…the tricky part. You have to travel between where you are and where the pet is. Sometimes you don’t even have to leave the zone you’re in. Other times you have to travel across the world and into dangerous and unknown territories.
