What Makes a Blog Post

So this is a post that requires fandom fans input. I have been wondering for a while what it is that actually makes a blog post? I know that in general a variety is the best thing overall. When you think about it the idea of being a geek really is about all sorts of different things, so that isn't what has me wondering.

But what do you think a blog post is?

Popular geek blog sites make a whole post of something that I would include in a Tuesdays with Tarinae post where I have a hodge podge of all that information. Would you want to see more smaller posts? See some of the style of content that I share on the Facebook page here, on the blog?

Or do you prefer not so constant but relatively regular lost discussion-style thought provoking pieces? This houses all things from geek news, reviews, etc.

So what is it that you think makes a blog post? How should things go for The Fandomonium in 2014? I need your help! Only you can prevent [dullness binges].

This is the episode of epic proportions! Well, they all are really but this one is where I fangirl about vampires! Vampires are something that we have enjoyed in a variety of lore. From Natasha swooning over Buffy to Leila girl crushing on Kate Beckinsale this episode covers the favorite lore to the least favorite moments and all the vampires in between!

Tuesdays with Tarinae 1/14

I went back to look at how wonderful my blog was when I started Tuesday with Tarinae at A Healadin's Tear and I realized something. Everything about Tarinae is perfect. I rolled her in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and I never once thought about rerolling her (seriously a feat for me!). When I through together my blog after applying to write for WoW Insider, A Healadin's Tear was perfect. I redesigned the color scheme a lot but still perfect. Maybe I am only allowed to have that perfection once?

Speaking of WoW...

A couple months ago Lead Systems Developer for WoW, Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street left his posistion with Blizzard for another opportunity. It was a shock and quite a heartbreaking moment for all of GC's fans on the day he said So Long... but it appears he has resurfaced. Gaming sites across the web report that Greg has joined Riot Games (producers of League of Legends) as Lead Game Developer. 

I imagine the pace is quite different but as I have recently started playing League of Legends I couldn't be more happy to hear this news. I know that any game that has GC on their side is headed in the right direction. 

I would love to get him on the podcast! I could talk to this man for hours. He is also quite handsome. #fangirl
