I typically read blogs via RSS, clicking through to the actual post when occasion permits. But I'm starting to think I should revisit the main page of some of the blogs I read. Case in point: Snide Remarks.

At some point in the years since I've visited his actual website Eric has changed things up. It used to contain a fairly standard list of posts. Now there's an Excel spreadsheet looking layout. Which is a little odd, if you think about it. But also awesome. Here's why:

1. Visit Snide Remarks.
2. Chuckle a bit at the thought of using a spreadsheet as the main view of a blog.
3. Find the column entitled 'Angry Letter', click the arrow next to it. Choose Filters > Yes.
4. You now have a list of 83 of the awesomest blog posts ever written. Start reading.

This is the latest--and long overdue--installment in a series of posts called Blogs Worth Reading.

Though the number fluctuates a bit, I'm subscribed to something like 250 blogs, feeds and tumbls. As you can imagine I end up skipping a few posts. One blog I never skip--and often go back to re-read--is Neven Mrgan's Tumbl. Some posts are nerdy. Some are funny. Some are just plain insightful. Plus, Neven's works for the software company that makes my favorite text editor. Check out his blag.

This is the third installment in a very slowly growing series called Blogs Worth Reading.
