An apple a day... or in this case, a grape.

A while back Andrew sent me a great article discussing the traits of a good blog. Lots of obvious-only-after-pointed-out suggestions, but the Cliff Notes boil down to: what makes a blog good is... wait for it... good content. Why else would you want to return? And if you don't return, what's the point?

For a while now, clients have asked us why we don't have a blog, and I suppose it makes sense that we do, not because there aren't enough opinions out there on the Web already. But as we forge new relationships with clients, creatives, and partners in our industry, our thoughts and opinions about the Web, with all its progressive movements and fleeting trends, help them to understand our point of view. 

And, as a side effect (or rather, in spite) of our work, we both actively read and comment on a variety of blogs every day. And it's nice to learn about the ones that really are worth taking a peek over your morning coffee.

Like this one: This summer I took a trip over to Duttweiler, Germany to attend the wedding of my friends Jamie and Dave. They're taking an even bigger plunge than most newlyweds by starting a new life in the tiny medieval village comprised of picturesque courtyards, flower boxes, and vinyards. To keep friends back home up to date, they're posting one picture per day on their photoblog, Wein und Brot (wine and bread). It paints an accurate picture of a corner of the planet few may ever see, but well, it's a magical place that's worth a visit, even if it's only for a few seconds a day. Take a look and please, tell me what you think!

What do you think?
