Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Blog

Why blog at all and why use WordPress? I hear these questions every day. This article will help to take the mystery out of blogging and WordPress.

1. Why blog in the first place?

If you want instant publicity, blog. Blogging is more personal than a static website and you naturally speak in keyword rich terms. This makes you more findable on the web.

2. Establish relationships.

Easily establish relationships with your blog. If you turn on comments and let people leave comments, you are establishing an ongoing relationship with your readers.. This is quite difficult to do with static websites.

3. Search Engine Friendly.

Blogs are search engine friendly. In addition to writing in a more informal but keyword rich style, each post and each comment is a seperate page. It's also fresh content. These are two things that search engines love.

4. Get Feedback.

You can quickly get feedback on your ideas. Put up a survey or simply ask people to leave comments. Tell people you'd love to hear from them. Don't people generally like to express their opinion?

5. Why WordPress.

WordPress is so versatile. If you have your own domain, you can host it yourself to take advantage of everything it has to offer. If you don't have your own domain, you can get a free WordPress blog at WordPress.org. Your blog will look more professional if you host it on your domain and if your webhost has Fantastico, it's a snap to install. If your host doesn't have Fantastico, the process is a bit more involved but not at all complicated.

Now you know some reasons to blog and some reasons to use WordPress. It is one of the most versatile blogging platforms available today.

Eye of the North New Game Features

Eye of The North is the first true expansion ins the Guild Wars Series of PC Games. As with the other installments of the series, Guild Wars: Eye of the North has absolutely no monthly subscription fees. The unique thing about Eye of the North is that it can act as an expansion to any of the 3 standalone Guild Wars products. Guild Wars: Eye of the North takes place just about 6 years after the Prophecies installment. 3 Years after the Nightfall campaigns, and 8 years after the Searing story.

Items & Characters:

40 New Armor Styles.

Numerous non-set and set-profession-specific armor items.

100 New Skills Specific to Profession.

50 PvE skills.

10 additional heroes (1 per profession).

New Animals capable of charming (Mountain Eagle, Raven, White Wolf, White Moa, Black Wolf, Polar Bear, Albino Rat, White Crab, Iguana, and Rainbow Phoenix).

Guild Wars Eye of the North Maps:

Guild Wars Eye of the North Map shares the same world map with Guild Wars Prophecies. Eye of the North brings new maps for dungeons to the table. Dungeons maps are blank until you've completely discovered them. Until then you must rely on the semi-accurate maps that you can find near the entrance of any particular dungeon that will help you navigate to dungeon bosses, dungeon keys, and doors.

Areas:

Dungeons play a much bigger role in Eye of the North compared to previous titles. Even the Eye of the North maps have been upgraded to accommodate the new map features.

The Hall of Monuments:

In the Hall of Monuments you can save achievements, titles, weapons, armors, and other character information. This feature is presumed to be put in place so those who want to hold onto their characters when Guild Wars 2 eventually releases can do so.

New Story Arcs:

Eye of the North features 4 new story arcs. Asura Title Track, Deldrimor Title Track, Ebon Vanguard Title Track, Norn Title Track, and the Master of the North Title Track. The Depths of Tyria have 18 dungeons alone. The game ends with the defeat of the Great Destroyer.

Mini Games:

3 New Mini Games (Dwarven Boxing, Polymock, and The Norn Fighting Tournament). Each game will reward the winner with different amounts of reputation, experience, and items.

Eye of The North makes a great expansion to the Guild Wars series. GW:EN brings multiple new styles of game play to the Guild Wars world, as well as hours upon hours of extra game play. Eye of the North gives a sneak peak of whats to come from Guild Wars 2.
