1. Hi Jacob. Thank you for sharing this. I just gave this link to my daughter (aspiring graphic and game designer) and she find the sites interesting. Cheers!

2. Great, I’m always looking for more content to read and inspire. Especially when I have downtime at work between designing or am starting a new projects. Oh no, not that feeling of running out of new posts in the reader! I’m subscribed to many of these but there are a couple I got to add to my list!

3. Jacob,
   Thanks for the mention. There’s a few on your list that I’m not familiar with, so I’ll have to check them out.

4. I agreed about your reasons to subscribe Abduzeedo. They have great tutorials and artwork. In fact, I only visited PSD Tuts just to see another highlighted Abduzeedo’s art.

5. wow, thanks for the feature, Jacob. Great list, it’s an honour to be featured among such pros.

   I’ve discovered your blog via Lauren (Creative Curio), commented here, and that’s how you found my blog 😉

6. Jacob – great article, since I just did the list of the 55+ Design RSS Feeds, your post is making me want to narrow them down to write another post. Look out for it tomorrow – your my inspiration on this!

   Cheers!

7. I haven’t heard of Abduzeedo. I’m so on top of my RSS feeds at the moment (i.e. have read all but four to date) that I’m subscribing to new stuff all over the place. I’ll check them out.

   PSDTuts does have great tuts. I love the grass and fire text they did recently.

   Smashing Magazine is good. It’s a shame there isn’t more community there though. They get so many three word comments and no one reads the other comments before posting their own.

   Looking at my feed reader I realise that most of these are some of my favourite blogs. 😛

   p.s. Hmm, I guess the most recent version of Comment Luv has omitted an apostrophe from the default text?

8. Firewalker,
   Yeah they are both great resources.

   Vivien,
   Yeah well I have always read your articles so it seemed only fair but your welcome.

   Adelle,
   Ah great just looking at your rss feed post. I really do not think I need any more at this subscriptions at this time however I am sure there is many more very worthy.

   Janette,
   Ah thanks Janette. She also may find our featured articles page of help too.

   Sketchee,
   Haha I wish I was like that… no new posts in the reader… that is impossible.

   Ivo,
   Yes those sites are among my favourites as well. Thanks for the list.

   Ferdiand,
   There are so many great blogs out there that is very hard to keep up with them all however I really enjoy reading these blogs.

   Steven,
   It is always good to share feeds and resources so you’re welcome.

   Lauren,
   Hehe glad I made ya day… keep it up. I do recommend you subscribe to Abuzeedo.

   Kristarella,
   Sometimes that is a good sign Kristarella… wish I could say that, I have hundreds of articles that I wish I could read. And you are right about Smashing Mag, everyone just wants to be first commentator for the traffic. Even if I manage to get in as 5th of 6th commentator I do notice quite a bit of traffic if you have a quality comment.

   Not so sure about CommentLuv, I could fix it up manually, but it is annoying because every time there is an update it goes back to the default.

9. Hmmm, not sure if my read feeds are a good sign – it means I’ve been reading them instead of the science papers I’m supposed to be reading and writing an essay about. 🙁

   Hmm, if I start using CommentLuv I’ll ask the developer to change it… hate misapostrophication!

10. Nice list, I love Smashing Magazine and PSD tuts, too.

    My favorites:

    http://cameronmoll.com/
    http://www.webdesignerwall.com/

11. This is a great list Jacob. I thought I knew a lot of great blogs already but you’ve proven me wrong. Just added some of these to my subscribtions.

    ferdinands last blog post..“Free” Origami Vectors

12. Wow, Jacob! Thanks!! In the top 10 😀 You made my day!

    The only one I don’t subscribe to is Abuzeedo, but I do check it every once in awhile.

    LaurenMarie – Creative Curios last blog post..Small Details of a Blog Design

13. Nice list, Jacob. I’m already subscribed to all of these, so I guess my top 10 would be very similar. They all have a nice steady flow of useful information.

    Alec Rioss last blog post..How to Attract Zero Visitors

14. Wow, great list. I can’t believe how similar my list would be.

    Sean Hodges last blog post..Chris Nielsen Interview

15. Thanks for the recommendations. Some I already read but a few greats that I now follow thanks to this post. Been reading your blog for a few months now. I love it. Thanks for all the hard work.

16. Thanks very much, Jacob. Amongst fantastic company too! I like your live comment preview, something I’ve been thinking of integrating. Is it a plugin? Do you think it eats up much on the resource front?

17. Hey now wait a minute, you missed out inspirational creative blogs like, The Original Linkage
    ;-D

    http://www.original-linkage.co.uk

18. Kristarella,
    Well sometimes it is good to be on top of things… I would rather that then to be always dragged down, it eventually gets to you,

    Sean,
    Well good to hear someone has the same tastes 🙂

    Jerad,
    Your welcome, enjoy reading the other blogs.

    808,
    Thanks for the link.

    David,
    Your welcome David. Yeah it is a plugin called Live Comment Preview. Not so sure about the resources but I have not noticed a difference however it is in the wrong spot… I would like it right underneath the submit button however I am yet to change this… need to look into the code, shouldn’t be too hard.

19. I would rather that then to be always dragged down, it eventually gets to you

    Definitely. If I get too far behind I just mark them all as read. They’re there to enhance and supplement, not stress you out. I might miss something good, but nothing of eternal significance.

    kristarellas last blog post..Wooshka T-shirts

20. I’ll take a look at the plugin, Jacob. Thanks.

    Kristarella,

    Marking all as read. I can completely understand. I’ve just returned from a few days holiday, and reading over 300 feed items isn’t top of my priority list.

    David Aireys last blog post..Logo design and business card for WDE

21. There’s loads of great sites you’ve missed here like

    http://www.aisleone.net
    http://www.dirtymouse.co.uk
    http://www.formfiftyfive.com

    to name but 3

22. Excellent list! I try to apply design suggestions to computer user interfaces (as applicable) and so I am always on the lookout for good design resources. Skimming through some of the articles from the linked sites shows them to be very promising.

    As for CommentLuv, you can change the default output in the WP settings somewhere.

    Cheers and thank you for sharing!

23. Eddle,
    Thanks for the other links Eddle, it was very hard just to choose 10.

    Inaequitas,
    Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I have changed the CommentLuv thing before however every time an update comes around it changes back to the default. 🙁

24. David, wow! Great list. Being more on the programming/back-end side of things, these will give me some great inspiration in graphic design for future projects.

25. Hi Matt,
    Maybe you muddled me (Jacob) and David’s names up? and yeah, I really recommend these websites.

26. Great post! I must agree with you on many of those. I have found Smashing Magazine to be of huge importance to me. Keep up the great work!
    Cheers

50. I stumbled across this post quite by accident while doing some archive sorting and research for a project, and I have to say, Smashing Magazine is still smashing it (pun intended) as a design blog and it is really cool to see they were on a list way back in 2008, too!

    I’m also a big fan of Vandelay Design and use some of their posts regularly to help promote my company’s Facebook page. I’m glad to see high quality blogs are making a lasting impression!

    Great post, thanks!
