Web Design Blogs to Read in 2012
Category: Web Design - Published: Apr 08, 2012 - Tags: blogging
I am always on the lookout for good new blogs or those with great content that I haven't seen before. In the web design field it seems like a handful of the larger blogs can drown out the voice of the little guys who many time have better things to say. So here are some of the smaller blogs that have great content that you should follow.
One of the things about smaller blogs is they don’t get updated nearly as frequently, especially when it is a one man or woman show. Which means you should be using an RSS feed or following them on Twitter. It also means the posts can be a lot better when the blog authors write when they have something to say instead of forcing out a posts every day.

Writes some interesting posts around the bigger design blogs and some stuff here at his blog.

Not a lot of frequent posts but they tend to be good and the blog design is pretty nice.

The personal blog of Samantha Warren. I started reading her posts back when she was working at Viget (listed below). The blog has been neglected for a while but she seems to be getting back into it, so I thought I’d mention it.
