TooManyAddons!!!

Yes, it's true, I do indeed have too many, but that is not the point. The point is that there is an addon out there called TooManyAddons. Now, I will let you in on a little secret. This addon is one of my new favorites, simply because of what it allows me to do.
 
TMA allows me to make profiles of different addons I want to load. Thus I don't have to load every addon I would use in every situation. I personally have a profile set up where I have every addon I use to make gold (auctioneer, KTQ, Quick auctions and many others) and a profile for my Mage in PVP and one for my mage in raiding.

This creation of profiles is great not only because they exist, but because they are easily swappable. Say you just got invited to a raid, but your UI is set up for PVP. Not to worry, just return to the main menu (default: escape) click on the new button that says addons. Then, select your raiding profile, hit reloadui, and BAM! you are ready to go. This is just the beginning of the potential of this addon.

Simple is often better!

Today I wanted to spotlight an addon which I have been using for a while. It is so simple that you wouldn't think  it would be so valuable. The addon digits created by Satrina, places a scaling and movable number showing your health and mana/focus/rage. You can show the number as either a percentage or an exact number.
Digits although old, still is very functional and is in fact currently undergoing a rewrite which will, according to Satrina, "allow you to make as many digits displays as you want for whatever units you want."


You can find digits at wowinterface.com here.

Hope you all find this helpful!

Mail made easy!

So today I thought I would highlight two addons which I really like, both of which have to do with mail. The first of which, Postal, redesigns the mailbox, it allows you to check by specific mail and then click open to open any random grouping of mail you want, it also has the open all option. In addition you can set what you want it to open when you do open all. For example, I have the open all on my bank alt to only open successful auction mail. Postal can be found at curse here, or at wowinterface here

The second mod I would like to highlight is called bulkmail2. This addon allows you to set up item groupings to send to certain characters, so that when you type in that characters name the item pops up in the small window added, and then gives you an option to click send and mail all of that item you have to that character. One thing to remember is that you have to do the configuration through the minimap button. I spent probably 20 minutes sitting there going I am adding this item to the list in this letter, but it is not auto sending, so just keep that in mind. You can find bulkmail2 here

Well I hope you all enjoy both of these addons. I know I do,

Really weird issue with skillet....

So I have this really odd issue on my mage, my main, where if I try to use skillet, I click the enchanting or jewelcrafting tab and it highlights showing it's open, but the skillet window never pops up. It is really weird because it works just fine on all of my other characters. So today is my try to fix skillet day, I am going through and one by one disabling addons to see if any of them are interfering with skillet after uninstalling and reinstalling. If none of this works, I am going to copy my WTF folder out and delete it. If that doesn't work, well I am going to just go sob in the corner for a while haha. Any ideas?

Doom Cooldown Pulse

So today I wanted to share a quick addon which I think adds information for you in an incredibly quick and simple way. What Doom CooldownPulse does is that when an ability is ready it will flash the image of that spell anywhere on your screen, as you can see here:



As you can imagine this can be incredibly useful and is one of the easiest ways I have found yet to help me see when a spell is able to be used.

You can find Doom CooldownPulse at both of the two main addon sites:
