The blogs that I read
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it’s my duty
I’m a missionary
–Depeche Mode “Sacred”
With Firefox, my zeal for blogging is conveniently satisfied. I can’t tell if Sage or Live Bookmarks should get the credit (RSS), but I’m now able to see the updates of all the blogs I’ve set an eye on without going to the websites themselves. Of course, I can only see the titles and need to log on to the sites to read the posts.
Anyway, below are the blogs I check on a daily basis and consider useful or brilliant. (in alphabetical order)
As a blog reader, the name “9 rules” equals quality. Most blog writers if their pages are recognized by the 9 rules’ team. Their blog introduces one cool blog every day, and that’s partly why my reading load is always growing.
Blogbrity is another team which introduces blogs. The quality of the websites it introduces is sometimes controversial, though. The blogs it introduces seem to be a bit more ‘entertaining’ and fun to read.
The first blog I added to my bookmarks. The writer writes with an easy-going manner and draws endearing comics.
A blog about web design. I like the look of the site, too. Very simple and elegant.
A blog by a person in L.A. Seems to be about everything.
A blog with a somewhat literary feeling.
It makes me blush to admit reading this blog… It is pure erotica yet with some arty feelings, too. The writer’s describtions of sensual experiences are vivid.
A web desinger’s blog, with a lot of tips and useful advice.
A rather new blog but contains rewarding contents. It is mainly about online wonders and other stuff.
A web designer’s blog. Nice layout. The content is sometimes worth reading, sometimes just personal rants.
The blog of the website “HowStuffWorks,” whose features are, well, same as what the title suggests.
A blog about blogging, the Internet, Podcasts, Technology, etc.
The website of yet another web developer. The interface is really gorgeous, though. And his writing style is literary and enjoyable.
A blog mainly about social injustice.
A blog about… well, I haven’t figured out what it is about yet. It contains nice little pictures and long, informative posts.
Not sure if this should be categorized as ‘blogs.’ It is more like a News Feed with interesting Technology news.
A blog by an L.A. dweller, about everything. The writing style has some literary feelings, too.
The blogger looks young. His site seems to be about everything as well.
My Favorite interfaces among the sites:

have you tried using Bloglines rather than Sage? It also integrates pretty well with Firefox?

Thanks for your comment, Neil! I can’t believe a blog author I admire would stop by here! Thank you!
I visited Bloglines yesterday but haven’t figured out how to use it yet. I’ll try again today.

You basically add all of your “feeds,” then you can read all of your blogs at one time, in a magazine. But you still have to click onto the site if you want to comments. It gives you more info than just the title you get with Sage and Firefox.

Thanks again! I registered and it took about half an our for the validation mail to arrive. I almost thought that I didn’t register successfully. Of course I did and immediately knew how to use it. Really nice!
