Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at brightharbormerchantgallery continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
horcall
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at horcall continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
jazbox
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at jazbox reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.
