What To Do With The Blog
4.01 has marked the official switch from my Paladin to my Warrior, along with switching from a main spec Tank to a main spec DPS. My game play, and therefore the fodder for my blog, is going to be more focused on the Warrior DPS side of things. I’ve debated if it would make more sense to simply shut down Honors Code, and create a new blog to reflect the new focus. An informal survey of my Twitter follows seems to indicate that the DPS Warrior appears to be underrepresented in the Blogosphre. It’s a similar situation to the Paladin Tank when I started the blog way back in 2007.
On the writing front, I wasn’t named among the winners for the Blizzard Short Story Contest, but I had a blast , and I learned some important lessons as well. I will allow myself the delusion that I made it at least past the first couple of cuts, but honestly, I have no idea if that is true. Now I want to take that experience and expand upon it for NaNoWriMo. So if blog posts are sparse during the month of November, well, now you know why.
I really wish I was one of those bloggers, like Big Bear Butt, who seems to get away with posting just about anything. He talks about his Druid, his Hunter, and even throws in real life stories about driving a big rig. I would love to be able to pull that off.
What do you think? Should I just start writing about Warriors and stabbing stuff, or create a new blog and let the lights go out on Honors Code?

Comments
I like delving into other topics - and as others have commented there isn't much about in terms of blogs for fury warriors.
Honor's Code - Now with 50% more awesome!
Then write about any class you want, or write about big bear butt driving a big rig, or how to make awesome sweet potato pancakes.
Ultimately, most people may identify with a specific class, but will read about many to cover their alts, their friends, and their co-raiders.
People that like your writing style, information will stay, new ones will come, and people that don't will leave.
You rock, keep it up.
DPS warriors are tragically underrepresented, and I certainly won't take Honor's Code out of my feed reader if that's what you choose to blog about. :)
But whether you play a DPS, Tank or whatever ultimately the reason that most regular readers read here is they love your writing style and analysis of things game play or whatever. I'll still read because your one my favorite blogs to read Paladin, Warrior or whatever other class. I hope you keep the blog.
In actually I had the similar problem as well when took long break from playing WoW as well with my blog. Even though I play other games and try other games besides WoW i kept my own blog name. I had switched to using wordpress for more options as my blog platform while trying out new games but I still kept my blog name even though I shifted focus a bit.
o'course if you were switching to a Rogue you'd have to change the name :) but warriors have honour (as well as anger issues) ;)
love your blog, love your writing. you keep writin' i'll be here reading :)
As stated before, you are a good writer and your fans will follow you. DPS warriors need love and we would love to hear about your exploits!
Keep up the posts!
Sure, "Honor's Code" links into the paladin trope. But it works on a general feel, too. Warriors are said to talk of honour in some situations, and when the game is world of 'war'craft - well, honour, war... there's a juxtaposition there.
I'm *really* looking forward to reading your thoughts on warriors. I'm a warrior at heart and they're so under-represented in the blogosphere...

I came here for stories on Paladin tanking, but eventually learned more about you, the writer, in the process.
Now it doesn't matter what you post about, or what character you play. I like the writing and will continue to come back regardless.
(also, trust me on this: you'll kick yourself if you start a new class blog when you get down the road and start playing more time on that "old paladin main" again!)
You sir are about tanking, honor and having fun... consider the diversification of your blog a higher calling and challenge!
Is good lucks with the NaNoRaMoWriMo!
