(Not so) Weekly Interrogative

by Matt MooneySeptember 2, 2009

Haven’t posted a question in a while, here goes:

I recently realized that I basically go to the same 5 websites. Although I am perfectly fine with this, I figure I am missing out on some good stuff. So, favorite website we may not know of?

Comment and let me know, but:
#1 don’t be trying to sell me something
#2 and no dirties

    Ahhhh, perhaps I read too many!

    I enjoy the 'hyperlocal' blogs – my own town as well as places that I used to live.

    Simple Mom, Simple Kids, Simple Net (I'd link if I could – they are all in the http://simpletheme.net format)

    Cooking blogs – I love Pioneer Woman and Crockpot 365.

    My true faves – the ones I read EVERY time they show up in my reader – are the local blog for where I currently live, the blogs of my friends (IRL and bloggy) and low-degree-of-separation acquaintances. That's about 5 that I read on an every-time-they-post basis. I have loads more in my reader, but I skim the titles/first sentence or two and try to be selective.

    I love http://www.thepioneerwoman.com

    She cooks, takes photos, lives on a ranch and is a decent writer.

    Matt, how you do feel about your obvious mom following? Just wondering. 🙂

    I'm really bad. I read Dooce all the time…have for about 7 years. I check quite a few design blogs…if only to make me feel completely creatively inadequate. I follow Don Miller on twitter and check his blog from there. (as I believe you might already) But I mostly check the blogs of mutual friends.
