Uwe Hermann's music recommendations blog.
Around 2010, it contained ~weekly Creative Commons song recommendations from Uwe(a Debian Developer)
- Also the Libre Music Wiki was excellent, at about the same time.
https://www.joelonsoftware.com/
Was (and still is) one of the definitive sources for software dev information
Also the older posts in https://blog.codinghorror.com/ - the newer stuff is OK but not as good.
Jeff Atwood founded(?) Stack Overflow with Spolsky’s help.

Rog was on newgrounds, he tried to do a horror film stream with his then wife, did really good reporting on stuff from comicon, accepted user submissions, had his friends contribute...
His wife died. The blog stopped.
First thing that popped into my head was this:

I don't remember anything about the rest of the blog, but the Steve, Don't Eat It series was a treasure.
Hmm there's different types of blogs like cooking, travel, etc. Is there a certain type you are looking for?
I don't actively follow blogs but an author I like is John Scalzi and he has a very active blog.
MrMoneyMustache I have known of because I aspire to FIRE :)
I suppose I’m leaving the question open-ended on purpose, but really anything that was around and memorably good in the era when blogs ruled the day (speaking very broadly here, late 1990s-early 2010s).
If it still exists and is updating, that’s great! But I’m fascinated by internet history and the digital past we build and quickly forget, so I’m really interested in looking back at entries from that era. Thanks!

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
