Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at saffrontrailshop reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at jameslutz continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at blog66choices kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at datasummit reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
