Good: Kottke

Kottke is one of those blogs that doesn’t have a niche but has enough various topics that it works really well. Jason Kottke, the owner of the blog, posts things he’s come across and they usually remain interesting enough to take a look.

The design of his blog is also super-simplistic. He obviously wants his content to be the forefront of his blog and this is probably a good idea. With a blog that essentially covers vastly different things, creating some sort of relevant user interface would be a daunting task and most likely would distract the reader.

Another great thing about the site is Kottke gives credit for everything he finds. He also links to relevant material. His posts have a light front-end: short and sweet with all the links necessary to get the full story for whatever he’s deemed good enough to share with his readers.

Good job, Jason.
