New WoW Community Site Features Wowhead Links

In case you haven't noticed, Blizzard's new World of Warcraft community site is now live! The site offers a ton of new stuff, including improved forums, beginner's guides, raid progression and recommendations on the Armory, and more.

And here's the best part: You can now find links to Wowhead all over the Armory database! Item pages, character pages, search listings, and even the talent calculator all have convenient links to Wowhead.
