websites I admire and visit often

As a web developer, I am pretty picky of the websites I visit on a regular basis. Yes, I look for a good design, usability, mobile friendly and all of that good stuff, but let's face it. In the end, content is king, and why people visit websites. I visit a website over and over again because I really like their content and find the site useful. There are a handful of sites I visit monthly, weekly, or daily because they are so useful to me and here they are:

• W3 Schools - great site for learning web coding.
• Clark Howard - Clark is great at warning of scams and giving sound solid consumer advice.
• WRAL - I visit this site every day for local news and weather.
• CNN - This is the site I visit to get my news around the world.
• ESPN - The best website out there for sports news and video highlights.
• Yelp - The site I go to for restaurant reviews.
• Hongkiat - Great site to learn new technologies.
• Kirupa.com - Another great site to learn new technologies.
• Boagworld - Very good information on user experience design.
