Personal websites (cooler than mine)

• Amy Brown's website - my #1 inspiration that started this site
• Phils Web Site - #2 inspiration
• The People's Republic of Couch - extremely creative blog with cool data visualisations
• Skep's Place - super cozy personal site. Small web done right

Articles and posts about blogs and websites that have inspired me

• You should get a blog by Hugh Rundle
• “Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement by Anil Dash
• This specific skeet:
  

  I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!
