12 Excellent Websites to Follow

The easiest way to keep up with the latest news and resources is by subscribing to RSS feeds of your favorite sites. When I wrote an article called "30 Websites to follow if you’re into Web Development ", I knew I couldn’t include everyone’s favorites, so I asked readers to suggest other websites worth following.

This is a collection of just some of your suggestions. Each entry has a link directly to the site’s RSS feed, but if you want to include all of them into your feed reader, here’s an OPML file for all of them .
