I’m a follower of [Re]encoded as well. Cheers.
March 24th, 2009 at 2:58 am
Seems the last link to Reencode starts with “hyyp” when it should ofcourse start with “http”
Made Firefox a little confused
Otherwise nice post
Cheers

Hmmm… by the time you make it to #5 you’ll see the same content twice.. but I guess that’s the game these days

Thanx Magnus Bonnevier.. Link fixed

Nice list. Some good stuff.
March 24th, 2009 at 6:38 am
great list!
this is a new favourite of mine http://inspiredm.com
March 24th, 2009 at 6:40 am
Every blog that I wanted mentioned was mentioned–great job! Also, everyone really needs to check out tutorial9.net. Such a fantastically designed site that’s constantly updated with great finds. Check it out, for sure…
March 24th, 2009 at 6:44 am
This is an incredible list and I feel honoured to be amongst it. Thanks for featuring my site!
March 24th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Having been making and developing web sites for a while now, i am more than satisfied that functionality for the users of the sites, goes way over the needs for making a ‘pretty picture’. Dont get me wrong, a well designed web site can make for a well designed means of navigating through it, but when i see these flash web sites with all these bells and whistles, i often dont know where to start with it, there are usually so many things going on a once, its is hard to know where to start. Does anyone else find this a problem? Let me know if you do.

March 26th, 2009 at 5:45 am
Hell… How can you forgot to include great resource blog like http://www.instantShift.com
March 26th, 2009 at 9:32 am
I agree, flash sites can be very distracting. We did forget instantshift.com. Everyone, don’t forget to also subscribe to instantshift.com!
March 30th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Great list some of these I’ve not seen before. My only complaint is I was clicking the image to visit the website but all it showed was the .jpg. I then when through the RSS feed link. Didn’t realise that the title was the link. Sorry for being a little fussy! Great article nearly all bookmarked.
March 30th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
the dark art picture one looks pretty cool.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:24 pm
The thing I enjoy most about this post is you guys actually took the time to include separate links for the rss feeds and twitter, awesome.
thanks.
April 4th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
You missed the mark, in my opinion. The majority of these must follow sites do nothing except for provide link bait articles, like this one. They simply take other people’s content, and publish links to it. Vandelay Design for example, nothing but link bait articles, and if you look at the portfolio, you’ll see a lot of not-so-good work. The tuts sites are great, psdtuts, nettuts, vectortuts, etc. I just think people shouldn’t be recognized and rewarded with traffic, and therefore advertising revenue, for their ability to find other people’s hard work.
The sites that should be mentioned, are the ones actually publishing the content that gets linked to from the link bait sites.
*The views above are only mine – they obviously do not reflect the views of the majority of people

I think you have missed “WebAppers”

Website design is the ability of creating presentation of content to the end user. The above designs greatly meet the main criteria of website design which is to communicate the contents in an interactive and attractive manner. There are a lot of interesting designs to choose from and various features, like text, images and others are embedded in the website to make it useful and attractive to the users.

Good list of the top web design blogs. Agree with PelFusion though that SmashingMagazine should be the top spot now. There are definitely a lot of new web design blogs that have come out since that are good reads. One site that I’ve found that lists a bunch of these and their most recent posts is
November 4th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
It´s a nice list of blogs and how blogs “should” be! They don´t need to have primitive and dull basic design! These designs are really optimistic and I would bet that more people are attracted to post in such blogs than in standard design blogs.
November 7th, 2010 at 8:49 pm

Awesome…Thanks for sharing your post..The web design industry is always changing, so as a web designer, it is important to always be ahead of the curve. These blogs are always coming up with cutting edge new ideas and providing free tools for web designers such as wordpress themes, templates and icon designs. Studies suggest that it would only take 3 to 5 seconds to catch your visitor’s attention; else, he will move on to another site . A web designer takes care of your site’s overall appearance and functionalities including: right color, navigations, etc. Again, your web design is crucial to get your visitor’s attention.
