Here’s a collection of blogs and other sites I enjoy reading. It’s not perfect in the categorization and people often write about more than just the one category I put them under but I hope you find some cool stuff! If you don’t recognize some of the names, I tried putting what they’re most known for next to them. A lot of these have RSS feeds as well and I recommend using a RSS feed reader (I use Inoreader) to keep updated on posts.

Looks at all these cool 88×31 buttons! If you have one, let me know so I can add it to this page. Even I made one! Consider using this to link to my page.
