Blogs I read

This blog is mostly about my Microsoft server technologies and things I encounter in my day job in IT.  To keep up with this field I am subscribed to a number of blogs and I try to set aside some time to read the latest posts each day.  But since I am blogging I also like to keep up to date about blogging itself, and so I also subscribe to a bunch of other blogs about blogging and related matters.

So here is the list of blogs that I read each week.
