Keeping up with the latest news, trends and techniques is all part of being a freelance web designer and with RSS feeds, the task is made much easier by simply subscribing to the most useful content.
However, finding the good RSS feeds from the bad ones is often a time consuming task so below is a list of useful feeds that I personally subscribe to in order to keep up to date.
This list contains a variety of feeds including general web design, HTML/CSS guides, advice, tutorials and news, Photoshop tips and freebies as well as plenty of useful advice for freelancers.
Also at the end of this list is a link to the OPML file which can be imported into your RSS reader.

but how do you manage to catch up with all these?

Hi Martin, I don’t read everything that comes in which is why it’s important when writing articles to make sure that the title is catchy and desribes the content well
If I see a title that interests me then I’ll read it, if not then I’ll simply ignore it. I also make sure I have an hour at the beginning of each day to go through my feeds and keep upto date with the industry

Hi Dave,
Thanks for this list. I have imported the opml file into my reader. Interestingly we had around 10 subscriptions in common. By the way, I am Ibrahim and I just joined the web-designing club
