Personal blogs
Sassy Two Socks: A lovely mixture of posts from this sassy New Yorker.

Why go network of blogs: Another group of travel bloggers. Each blogger has their own patch, which range from Portland, which looks a nice city, to Iceland and France.
Technical
Allison Duncan: really good longish articles on technology. I read her in-depth, personal article on dealing with the latest body scanners at airport security. A good read.
Techcrunch: This is the one to learn all about technology and in particular technology business, technology start-ups and gadgets. You’ll usually hear the techie gossip here first.
Speckyboy.com: Great blog on the design of websites. Good on lists, (usually 50) of well researched examples of good or unusual design. Gives even the least technical good ideas to discuss with their own designers.
On Blogging
Daily Blog Tips: Daniel Scocco’s great range of blogging advice and you’d be very surprised to find out that the site usually publishes a useful tip every day.
Traffic Generation Cafe: Ana Hoffman’s very friendly, very knowledgeable blog on building traffic for your blog.
Problogger: Probably the ultimate ‘how to blog’ and ‘how to make money blogging’ web site. Darren Rowse makes it look easy, but behind the scenes he works hard.
