What's in your Feed Reader? | Papertree Design

I have gotten in the habit of starting each day off by combing through my feed reader to have a look at what was written the day prior. It helps me to wake up, get the mind running and more often then not provides just enough inspiration to get me excited about my day. I thought it would be kind of fun to share with you those that I follow through the blogosphere on a daily basis and perhaps encourage you to share you own at the bottom.

Here they are appearing in no particular order (except maybe how they are currently appearing in my reader):

Coudal Partners – visit the site or grab the feed (Intelligent, smart and just plain interesting)

There are so many more that I probably visit on a daily basis and not to leave anyone out but this is what is sitting in my Feed Reader as we speak. As you can see I have a lot of reading to do so I should get back to work, please feel free to add yours below!

Have a suggestion for a post or see something that we could improve, please let us know!

Thanks so much for the mention! Glad that you enjoy the blog and I hope I continue to help you wake up, haha!

David Airey October 29th, 2008

Thanks for the compliment, Jeremy. It’s a pleasure to have you as a reader (to both my blogs!).

Chris Coyier October 29th, 2008

Hey thanks for the shout-out. I really dig the design here. Inquiringly clean.

Doh. Dumb spellcheck. “Inspiringly”, as it turns out, isn’t a word.

Jeremy October 29th, 2008

@Ryan It’s my favorite time to catch up on reading! It is both refreshing and exciting to see someone local exploring the realm of social media the way you do, you can bet I will be following along for along time to come.

@David Airey – Absolutely, I wouldn’t miss either of them, thanks for stopping by. The inspiration alone is enough to keep me coming back for more.

@Chris Coyier – I am more that willing to recognize it as a word since it is used in the form of a compliment, thanks. CSS-Tricks has given me direction on more than one occasion. I owe the introduction of a Lifestream on this blog to your Sweetcron Tutorial and partial credit for my Inspiration due to this little gem you wrote.

Michael Martin October 29th, 2008

Thanks for the complement! I’m very proud to be included in your reader with these great blogs! :D

Jacob Cass October 29th, 2008

Thanks for the mention Jeremy, I too subscribe to the majority of these feeds, a good collection! No Smashing Magazine I noticed!

@Michael Martin – Absolutely I’m am there regularly, by the way your most recent post couldn’t have come at a better time due to a little project I am working on. Thanks for the inspiration!

@Jacob Cass – Thanks for stopping by, the mention is well deserved I have received quite and education by being a regular reader of your blog. Good to know that some of you guys are reading the same, it makes me feel as though I am on the right track.

On Smashing Magazine, good point and excellent addition to the list, perhaps it needs to make it’s way onto the above.

Nice list of sites! Thanks!

Another one I like is Jennifer Kyrnin over at about.com http://webdesign.about.com/b/

She covers a lot of stuff from very basic to high level (because she teaches their courses), but it keeps your memory fresh for some of those tricks you tend to forget. She provides some nice links and she also gives some good Dreamweaver tips and an occasional dip into some fixes for those dotNet IE hassles. Easy reading with a few short articles per day.
Take care and keep up the nice blogs!
