WebGyver Revisited

Good Stuff Happens & Comes in Small(er) Portions

Posted by admin on July 1, 2009

If you’re getting tired of the “33 Astonishing Examples” and “51 Unique Icon Sets” articles that keep getting published by the blog power houses, well, then you and I have a lot in common.

Not that there is anything wrong with scrolling through 44 jQuery tab examples, but — to be honest — it all becomes a bit of a blur, very quickly. To me, the real nuggets of useful information come in the form of shorter blog articles, usually focusing on one issue at a time, offering perhaps a handful of links to related resources.

So without any further ado, here are some online destinations that I have recently encountered and enjoyed because of a) the down-to-earth information they have to offer and/or b) the fact that they are rocking-and-rolling pretty much on their own:

Dew Lilly (Anne) – Freelance Web & Graphic Designer / Flagstaff, Arizona

Laura Spencer – Freelance Writer / North West Texas

The Get Smart Blog (Bridget Ayers) / San Diego, California

PS: I just realized that all of those blogs are primarily written by women. Hmmm, not sure why that is, but just in case you were wondering, I do read tons of other blogs about web design, web development, Flex technology, database programming, CSS techniques and graphic design that are written by men. The ones I’ve listed here are just the most interesting that I’ve read in a while, as of right now.
