Blogs can be an excellent source of practical & timely information. However, as a web craftsman I tend to lean towards blogs that are directly related to what I do.
Glancing over the list of blogs in my preferred reader the majority of those blogs focus on topics such as web programming, usability, user interface design, css, javascript... ok, and Dilbert too.
While those are excellent sources of information, I have found it useful to diversify into other relevant topics.
For example, I recently stumbled upon the excellent Branding & Marketing blog of Chris Brown. The posts I have read so far do not specifically mention "the web", but all have much application for my personal business and techniques that I can implement for my clients.
So the lesson I have learned? Don't focus all of my attention on the web perspective. By diversifying my knowledge investment into complementary fields I can better round out my personal business skills and increase the value I can provide to my clients.
