For tech/dev stuff, I really like https://increment.com/
I have to be honest I don't read many blogs (I know that must sound shocking coming from me haha), any you can recommend, M贸nica Freitas.
Teri Eyenike, loved the first one. I immediately got tech from the design. How does he mix tech and travel? Can you share one of your favorite articles?
Abeer, this one is organized by topics, very useful. I saw that there is a focus on programming and financial planning. Is there an article you've found really useful and that you'd like to share?
Jack Boreham, how could you, content writer?! Let me make you a list.
Hubspot is great for topics like web design, marketing, content management, sales and business in general: https://blog.hubspot.com/
For travel tips, I usually rely on Nomadic Matt: https://www.nomadicmatt.com/
Inc. is a great resource to keep updated on tech, business and social media trends: https://www.inc.com/technology
PopMatters is great to get info on movies, music, books, etc.: https://www.popmatters.com/
Gaming-wise, I'd suggest Polygon or The Guardian (not a blog but a good resource): https://www.polygon.com/
M贸nica Freitas, hahaha, thank you. So what do you look for in a blog?
M贸nica Freitas, I usually don't follow blogs, but I like one about organization and study. I'm a sucker for planners, so this does it for me haha. But I have to say it's way easier to follow the other social accounts to get the information instead of following blogs.
Jack Boreham, I'm a sucker for aesthetics, so one that appeals to me visually, immediately drags me in. Then, the content: is it clear and well written? Is it useful? If so, you've got a new fan.
Sara Pinto, can you share that one blog you follow? I'm a bit of a procrastinator, so that would be helpful 馃槀
M贸nica Freitas, oh, I forgot to add the link haha. Here it is: https://emmastudies.com/
M贸nica Freitas, they have free planners of all kinds and shapes, free calendars, and even good tips on how to be productive!
Sara Pinto, I like that they have a printable section. It makes it easier to navigate. Have you ever used any of their templates?
M贸nica Freitas, so far, only the calendars and I read all their posts. But I haven't had the chance to use one of the planners yet.
Sara Pinto, do you find the blog layout confusing? I was checking it, but it was hard to find the "really important" posts that aren't just answering other people's comments.
M贸nica Freitas, I usually don't have an issue since I follow it on other platforms, and the creator shares the direct link. But if you click on "my posts" it might be easier.

Sara Pinto, thanks for the tip!
