  1. Good list.. I follow most of them.. Will look into the rest. I hope my blog can make it to the next list :)

    Also, how is famous bloggers a design blog? I couldn’t see any design related articles there..

    Here are a few of my favorites (they don’t use BSA btw) but still publish great design related articles.. maybe a shameless plug, but i’m loving the articles on these blogs so i thought i’d share:

    1) retinart.com
    2) sickdesigner.com
    3) http://www.vanseodesign.com/blog/
    4) Creative Overflow

    Thanks for the list :)

    • Famous Bloggers has a Web Design, Social Networking and SEO section, which is design related!

    • Hi Richie, maybe we are not focusing all our writing toward design, but we all love design!

      I think web designers need to know more about blogging, and SEO as Dainiel said, also keeping in touch could create new opportunities between two different blogging niches!

      I am welling to start a series of design list posts, I want to introduce some awesome designers to our blog community!

    • Richie

      I write for Famous Bloggers, and we do from time to time write design related articles. I have done 1 on there as well, but most cover SEO. But lately we have been focusing on the blogging / SEO side of the site due a large contest(covering comment strategies) that just came to end at beginning of the month.

      Anyways, The owner, Hesham and I have spoken about the design side of Famous Bloggers and are about to start more design related topics. We just need more designers writing guest articles.

  2. Great list, and thank you so much Dainiel for including our blog!
