Blog Reading

[teaberryblue]

Hey, anybody who reads a lot of non-LJ blogs (and who reads them off-LJ and not by RSS on their friends' list), can you recommend some of the following:

--Best or most unique layouts
--Best, most useful, or most unique widgets
--Best integration of photos, sound, or video in a non-photoblog or non-videoblog

Thanks!

I haven't read any of his books, but when he draws from personal experience in his blog, it's just that. So when he talks about trying to wrangle being Catholic and also being gay, he relates it, but I don't think he ever verges into "I am gay and awesome and therefore know everything about reconciling faith and sexuality." He might be different in book form for all I know.

I think he's good because he goes places that a lot of bloggers don't. That's why I like Johann Hari too, who is awesome as well as shedding light on stuff that a lot of other journalists just aren't talking about. Both can sometimes be preachy, but I don't think there's a perfect commentator out there.
