Reader question: How can I stop being a “clicker”?
Jan 16th
Reader question time! “I’m a shameful clicker but I can see the benefit in key bindings. I want to know from someone who is well versed how to go about key binding … how to change my mindset. I currently use WSAD for directional control, mouse for camera control and click those buttons furiously. My
Power Auras: Keeva gets with the program
Jan 8th
Back in June, Kae over at Dreambound shared her Power Auras settings. I had seen Power Auras before but I think this post got the cogs turning, as I realised it could be very handy for a number of my cooldowns. I don’t have buttons visible on my UI, so I rely on cooldown timers
How to add Wowhead links to your blog
Jan 7th
Another blogger asked me how to get the Wowhead mouseover links to work in her blog. For example, when you mouseover this item, you can see its Wowhead tooltip: Support Girdle This is a really handy thing to have – it makes it nice and easy on your readers; they don’t have to click the
Wild Growth bug now fixed
Sep 24th
While nothing has been announced, druids are reporting that the WG bug has finally been fixed. If the above is true, self-casting should now work, even when your target is dead or out of range. While this is obviously kinda illogical, it was still annoying when it wouldn’t fire. It still occasionally tripped me up.
Raid debuffs and how to make your life easier
Sep 18th
One thing I’ve always loved about Grid is that I can set up my frames to change to – OH-GOD-LOOK-AT-ME-I’M-BRIGHT-PINK – pink when someone has a nasty debuff. The rapid colour change to something bright and obvious immediately prompts me to bomb them with heals, run away from them, run to them, etc etc. But
Wild Growth bug fixed! Wait, no..
Aug 11th
Resto druids have a long-standing (it’s been months, now) problem with Wild Growth not playing nice with our mouseover macros. The digest version of the story, if you’re not aware, is that if you have a dead or out-of-range person targeted and you try to cast Wild Growth using a mouseover macro, the Wild Growth

Raid frame challenge: an in-depth view of Healbot
Mar 22nd
This is the third installment in my “Grid vs Healbot” series. I had planned this to be a multi-part experiment and feature the other raid frame heavyweights such as Pitbull, XPerl, and so on, but really it’s such a massive job to look at them carefully that I don’t think I can commit to doing
Healbot fans: I need your help
Mar 6th
Healbot and Grid stuff again!I’m nearly done with my side-by-side assessment of Healbot and Grid, and whether Healbot can do all of the things that I like Grid to do for me.But aside from that, because I’m not an expert on Healbot, I am POSITIVE there are some cool bells and whistles that Healbot can

BIG DISCLAIMER: Please see this and future posts on the subject for what they are: experiments and exploration, a chance to test out the other mods and report back to you on A) how easy or difficult they are to understand at first, and B) how they compare to what I want out of a
