Blogging Designers?
I spent some time looking for blogs written by designers today. I'm building a web application/service for designers, and I think it would be a good idea to try and get more immersed in their world.
I know a bunch of designers. There's my cousin. And at my day job I manage 2 web designers, work with 2 others (on the marketing side), and I have a good relationship with the Corporate Creative Design Director. Out of all these people, only 1 of them has their own blog.
Back when I was trying to master XHTML and CSS I was a regular reader of Dave Shea's mezzoblue and Dan Cederholm's SimpleBits, so those guys are back on my rotation.
I've also found 2 new blogs that seem to be interesting. Blue Flavor and Derek Powazek.
If anyone knows of any other blogs by designers, please feel free to leave their URL in a comment below. Thanks!

Mike may be interested. He did the HelpSpot & UserScape logos.

What is with blogs written by designers? Well, I wrote a topic on this one, integrating blogs with design. I guess that all over the web pages dealing with the same topic as this one, there is a split commentary.
Anyway, I hope you'll find this url interesting:

I love Dan's stuff too, so umm, simple!
I've kept my eye on a couple of other designer's blogs too, here's 2 more:
hicksdesign http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/
Jeffrey Zeldman http://www.zeldman.com/
You know me. I'm a blogging designer. I'm not a frequent poster, and it's not always design related... but... yeah.

Thanks for the mention Sica. That reminds me I haven't added any articles recently. Not even sure it's being read... oh well :)
Ian,
Thanks for the link to Mike's site. He's posted on my site before, but I forgot to see if he had a blog!
Mary,
I'll check out the link. Thanks.

Thanks man. But I forgot to mention I've got hicks on my subscription list already. In regards to Zeldman, I was a daily reader of his blog for a solid year, but I don't like his blog. (I LOVE his book.) Not having comments for his blog posts makes the site feel desolate.

I forgot to mention you on my list of "designers I know". Sorry!
Shawn
I read 'em!
