			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of years ago, before I knew PHP or any back-end language, I really wanted to keep a World of Warcraft Journalâ€”a pictoral journey through my travels in Azeroth. Knowing my way around XHTML and CSS, I designed a page, marked it up and started cataloging the beauty of WoW. As the images started to add up, I realized I had no paging system and no way to update the site without modifying the mark-up. After around 30 pictures, it was too much to handle, and I let it go.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ve decided to give it another go; this time, with a little more knowledge under my belt. I haven&#8217;t been playing very much WoW, so the first thing to do was to start again. I gave myself a few hours this weekend and actually attempted get some questing done. It was an exhilarating experience. The next thing to do was to design a system for uploading images, text, quotes, conversations, and a few other things, with a nice design, RSS, and easy management. Knowing I couldn&#8217;t do that, and based on my fascination with mini-blogging, I decided to scratch and itch and give <a href="http://tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> a go.</p>
<p>It was worth it. Tumblr allows for stupid-simple management of mini-blogging, and it even makes it look good. It has image, audio, and video upload support, and has a <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/api">beautiful API</a>. I was even able to connect it up to a custom URL with a simple A-record in my DNS.</p>
<p>And, voila!, Peter&#8217;s WoW Journal is re-born: <a href="http://wow.peterwooley.com">http://wow.peterwooley.com</a></p>
