When I was glancing through other blogs that deal with raiding and World of Warcraft, I found the "WoW Insider" blog and website to be quite interesting. They are run by a group of 27 different authors with considerable World of Warcraft experience.
The style is quite humorous and engaging, with many pictures and videos to keep the interest. In fact, I found their post "WoW Moviewatch: Stuff WoW Elitists Say" especially funny because we have all been in situations where people flaunt their experience and/or skill over us. Those of us with some experience can easily fall into the trap of flaunting as well. Its a cautionary tale on what to avoid.
They seem really plugged-in to the pulse of World of Warcraft, with up-to-date news about what is going on in World of Warcraft now, and about the changes that the upcoming expansion, Warlords of Draenor, will bring. I also like the "WoW Rookie" section because it tailors to the casual or inexperienced player, rather than assuming everyone who reads has completely dedicated their lives to World of Warcraft.
There are only a few drawbacks. The number of authors means there are very few ties between each individual post, leading to a somewhat disjointed blog. Also, some of the sections are considerably outdated. For instance, the "Ready Check" section is about raids that are now 2 years old, which erodes away at some of its relevance.
Overall, I'd recommend this blog for those looking for where World of Warcraft is going in the future. The information will not make or break your performance in World of Warcraft, but it can be fascinating and humorous if you enjoy reading about the game in your spare time.
