herongait
Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at herongait confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.
stashswan
A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at stashswan continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
flumelake
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at flumelake added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
