Reading a few blogs over a good coffee on a weekend morning is one of the rare pleasures I still get from life these days. I find a good blog useful for two reasons. First, a well-written blog is a casual, informal way to learn something new. The best ones stick to a single subject, so they are easy to follow if you already know a little about it. Second, good blogs are short. This is just my opinion, but a good blog should not run long. It should make one or two points concisely, in language as informal as possible. Conveniently, this also makes it easier to write. Out of laziness, I have not picked up the habit of blogging myself. Believe me, I have tried before, but I failed to keep it going. Still, one day I hope to start again and share what I learn from the other side of the screen, as a producer rather than just a consumer.

Below, I have listed some blogs I have enjoyed recently, along with a few older ones I knew from the good old days. Not all of the links are blogs, though. I have also included some advice pages that I find useful for my own studies, and I hope they help you or your students too.
