I've created a list of links . These are just some of the journals or blogs I read. There are others that don't update very often. I will add more occasionally. I used to read mainly US and Australian journals, but there seem to be lots of people in the UK and Ireland getting into the blog thing, so I'm reading a lot locally.
First thing is, have fun.
If you're not enjoying it, there's no point. Secondly, most journal writers redesign from time to time. I've had about four major redesigns since I began - many writers do that even more often. Don't be afraid to have a fresh look every now and again. Thirdly, spend some time on the visual side of what you do.
