Ubuntu Blogs: A list

I felt a need for a list of reader blogs with significant Ubuntu-related content. I asked the readers to let me know if they blog about Ubuntu, and this is the result. If you blog about Ubuntu and wish to be added to this list, please leave a comment. Where possible, I have tried to identify the primary language of the blogs. This is by no means an exhaustive collection. In fact none of these blogs are those of developers. Those you can always find at the Ubuntu Planet . Some of the famous Linux magazines are not here - the objective behind this list was to create a list of less-known Ubuntu Blogs with real life Ubuntu experiences - to make it easier for me to find what they find interesting or disgusting in Ubuntu. Update: There is a planet for all these blogs where you can submit your blog too . Ubuntu Blogs

At 2:48 when I say 'layers', I mean 'dialogs'. The sentence should read: "This is where I usually grab my dialogs."
