If the plethora of blog posts I swim through every day is any evidence, many blogs on the WordPress Reader are immensely helpful and eye-opening. But if anything, the most well-written and easily influential ones – whether or not they are the ones that pull likes and comments – are amazing blogs with amazing writers who, regardless of their experience (though I am sure have a good lot of it) make it an enjoyable, mind-opening experience to read their pieces.
Of course, this list is entirely based on my personal opinion. The authors of the posts on this list did not provide me a compensation of any kind for writing this. These are pieces that I have curated after coming across them on the WP Reader (just as you have probably found this one).
For now, sit back and prepare to have your mind exposed to new ideas!
