Hi all, I thought I would post up 14 blogs that have sat in my subscribe list on Google reader since the dawn of the time. Why do i think these blogs are so special? They actually provoke thought.
I am not a huge fan of sites that post lists / ‘best ofs’ 4 times a week, not a negative nor a criticism, its just not what I want waiting for me in my rss reader. The following blogs for the most part consistently strive to post articles that encourage: community, thought, continuing development, resources, laughter and advice. You might wait 4 days – 10 between posts but when they come – its worth-it.
In no particular order.
