# Peter and Douglas do it right (PDC Blogging the way I like it) and the list grows

By Roy Osherove October 26, 2003 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published October 26, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Somehow, of all the “PDC Bloggers” out there in the wild, I heard almost nothing but fires, planes, wireless connections and “This is how I look” posts... except for Peter and Douglas (I'm talking only about PDC content here, there are other great blogs, but not from the PDC itself).

In  [1](http://www.peterprovost.org/weblog/permalink.aspx?guid=214cb24c-acd5-44a0-a151-e8d51191d635)\-[2](http://weblogs.asp.net/dreilly/posts/33617.aspx) posts they've managed to squeeze in more information than the 250+ blogs I have in SharpReader (leaving aside minutia such as the PDC community application which was blogged about somewhere ) . I recommend dropping the main feed for a while, at least until it stops being a dating message board,and concentrate on finding the feeds that actually **say something meaningful**.

So, for now, Start with [Peter](http://www.peterprovost.org/weblog/) and [Douglas](http://weblogs.asp.net/dreilly). Hopefully, others will join soon.

**Update:**

[Benjamin](http://benjaminm.net/PermaLink.aspx?guid=7973e924-241d-4b7f-8720-1326b5275c2a) is added to the list too.

[Drew](http://weblogs.asp.net/dmarsh/posts/33593.aspx) is also added.

**Update 2:**

I've removed what I wrote about LonghornBlogs because it will only start to be relevant tomorrow. Please Accept my apologies for that. I guess I want content a bit \*too much\*.
