50 Free Resources That Will Improve Your Writing Skills | Developers Toolbox | Smashing Magazine. I appreciate the focus on “writing,” but I have to say that these long lists of resources never quite impress me as much as a good post. Also, even though many of the resources here go beyond grammar, I always resent it when people equate grammar and punctuation with writing. Writing is all about content; the grammar is just a given.

I find thoughtful posts and long resource lists both valuable in their own rights. Lists can be great pointers to new tools or techniques: A link and a reason why it’s cool is all I need to decide if it’s worth checking out. But thoughtful posts go much further in creating a community and loyal readers.
