Updated April 28, 2019
Occasionally, I mention blogs and other resources (and include links) when they are relevant to a topic that I’m discussing and they have reliable information.
More generally, before refreshing the look of this blog (quite awhile ago at this point), I used to have a so-called “blog roll” (not my term) with links to blogs and resources containing good, reliable information that I liked and thought others might be interested in as well.
I was reminded about the “blog roll” by a recent request to “cross-pollinate” blogs. While I will consider all legitimate requests, I will not recommend or “cross-pollinate” a blog or other resource simply for marketing or cross-marketing purposes. However, the particular request seemed like a good resource and made me think to recreate my old blog roll.
So, here it is… well, a start, anyway. I actually plan to create a stand-alone page of resources, so it doesn’t get lost in the stream of posts.
For now, however, the blogs and resources on this page – listed alphabetically – are ones that I read regularly and found to be very useful. I hope you do too.
If you have others you like, please email me!

In addition, though not a blog, James Pooley has an aggregation of articles and blog posts that he’s written, all accessible on one page. Definitely worth reading.
