Strikes through mean that they’re dead links. * means it’s a newly added series. Italics means that it’s over/abandoned/inactive. Bold means their active.
Note: Some of these blogs are connected to ACTIVE vlogs or other active blogs. When they are inactive, regardless of that fact, I’m still going to put them in italics because their blog counterpart is inactive.

charliepark:
This is a small one. Not even sure I should include it in my “Things I Made” series. But whatever. Here you go.
When I’m using TextMate, I’m a stickler about including smart quotes. You know, like &-r-s-q-u-o-; to make the ’ in “it’s”? Only problem is that it’s a bit of a pain to write that each…
