Watch out! Some of the Feed links are either broken, not updated or missing. Also all the Feed links are http, not https, use whatever you want.

Also the order of the links is merely alphabetical based on how they show in my feed reader, so it’s easier for me to update it from time to time.

Sites marked with ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด are written mainly in Romanian. Sites with ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด* are sometimes in Romanian.

I started this list thinking about the really nice sites I used to read in the RSS Reader and the nice blogs I was following.

While some are very interesting resources, some are just plain fun and time wasters. Enjoy!

Personal Websites

This hits a bit, because out of the 60 personal blogs I followed, none of them are still online or updated, or relevant. It kinda shows how the really personal part of the internet has been offloaded to big companies like facebook and instagram. So I’ll have to start again and add some new ones!
