We Druids are a prolific bunch, and many feel compelled to share our perspectives on the World (of Warcraft) by blogging. Here is an extensive list of other blogs (Druid and otherwise) that I hope you will enjoy. Interested in subscribing to all the Druid blogs listed here in bulk? Check out The World Tree!

Mmmm … chicken. Waradwen of Arathor (US) joins the ranks of Balance bloggers, writing about his Tauren Boomkin. - Laser Chicken
More Boomkin goodness, this time from Delos of Cenarion Circle. Perhaps most interestingly, he’s specced for PvP, giving him a unique perspective on Laser Chickanery. - Moon Queen
Aethel from Defias Brotherhood (EU) enjoys both the Balance and Restoration aspects of playing a Druid, depending on whether she’s currently raiding. At first glance, she appears to be somewhat of a number cruncher so I am excited to see what she finds. - Moonkin University
A school just for you, young Space Chickens! Just don’t spend your time passed out from too much Rumsey Rum. - Our Warcraft Family

A ridiculously cutely named blog from a Hunter and a Druid (the two classes often considered as the most prolific in the blogosphere) hailing from Kael’thas. - Ferocious Bite
Written by Mooire of Detheroc, Ferocious Bite has a number of articles rich in content. Although not especially specific to Druids, I thoroughly enjoyed her post on acquiring Alliance pets as a Horde player. - Flyv’s Warcraft Blog
Flyv of Garona (US) writes a well-rounded and enjoyable Feral blog, sharing theorycraft, gear discussion, and news! - Frostbolt.com

A blog about a Druid and his trek to level 70 and beyond. - Lost in the Grind
Lost in the Grind is written by a Feral Druid, Tabeyus of Sen’jin (US), although the author plays a variety of other games and shares his thoughts on many things MMO-related. - Mama Druid

Morannon of Darksorrow (EU) blogs about levelling in the Outlands and deciding what to do in the endgame. - Tallyswift: The Swiss Army Cow
Referring to the versatility inherent to the Druid class, the Swiss Army Cow is written by Tallyswift of Gorefiend (US) and has one of the more disturbing blog headers I’ve seen. (And that’s saying something.) - Tank Hard!

Mimnon of Vek’nilash (US) raids as a Feral Druid and expounds on the challenges of keeping a casual raiding guild casual, while still maintaining progression. - The Rambling Bear

Referring most likely to the one of the long, coarse hairs that adorn her mouth while in Cat Form, White Whisker includes topics on gear comparison, class changes, and end-game content. The writing is great, and I enjoyed her take on - Yashima Plays
World of Warcraft, of course! Yashima of Terrodar (EU) is a Druid with experience playing all three talent trees. She shares her thoughts on all aspects of our class: tanking, DPS (spell and melee) and healing!

From Nasirah, former author of A Tale of Two Druids, comes a blog focused on having fun with her legion of alts! - Ardent Defender

Featuring a crisp, open layout and a healthy side of theorycraft, Nerf My Shaman is probably not intended to be an appellation to reduce the effectiveness of the Shaman class. - One among Many
And she does mean MANY! The author of OaM plays a host of characters, both Horde and Alliance, although she professes her main to be a 70 Tauren Hunter. - Parry! Dodge! Spin!

@Andre: Oh, sorry. The last two lines are to first activate your lures and then to apply them to your weapon (in this case, your fishing pole). Without the second line, you would end up with the lures on your mouse cursor and not on your pole! @Flawless: Valenna changed his macro like that, too. I have my regular weapon mapped (for the purpose of an Innervate swap) and only use one modifier key, though. Nice change, though....
