This is another one of those lists I’ve started putting together. I wanted to get it out there to the public. It all started with Hadi @HHariri converting his blog from WordPress to Jekyll using Github Pages. I’ve wanted to get a solid list of top blogs.

To check out Hadi’s blog navigate over to http://hadihariri.com/. For a kick start yourself, check out my entry on Bringing it All Together, Bringing to Life an Open Source Software Project via Github & Jekyll – Part 1.

To help out with the blog list, add a blog or three that you read regularly. Cheers and thanks!
