A subscription to Rice Design Alliance's gorgeous quarterly magazine Cite will set you back about $25 a year, but you can sample some of the non-profit's programs, interests and writing by reading the magazine's online companion, Offcite. (Clever, huh?)

Stick Em UP! isn't just a blog, it's also a documentary about the art of wheat pasting in Houston. From the posters on the side of Numbers to the "Give Up" graffiti under bridges near Hwy 59, wheat pasted posters can be found all over the city, once you start to look.

Is This Houston? is a photoblog about Houston. That's it, really.

Houstonist has a friend who works in the medical business. This friend once told us that anytime you see a person wearing scrubs in public it is because that person whats you to know that they work in medicine. See, our friend is required to change out of his scrubs before he leaves work, because the nature of his work means that his scrubs frequently come into contact with biohazardous material. Thus, anyone wearing scrubs outside of work is either lazy, biohazardous themselves, or wearing a fresh clean crisp set of scrubs in order to show off. Since then, "scrubolepsy" has been a pet peeve of ours.

The blogs of Annie Sitton first came to our attention while reading Swamplot. (You can not consider yourself a true Houstonian if you do not subscribe to it.) Annie writes two similar but very different blogs about the homes that she and her spouse, Tall Husband, own in Houston.

Bayou City History started in 2006 as a way for Houstonian and local history buff J.R. Gonzales to chronicle (no pun intended) the findings of his research. After a year at Blogger.com, the blog moved to the Chron Commons, where it no doubt benefited from the newspaper's extensive archive of photos and stories.

Houstonist has a soft spot (right around our midesction) for fried crap. Fried pickles, fried chicken, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, even fried Oreos. We'll scarf 'em. So of course we've got to love a blog "devoted to exploring all that is good, breaded and fattening about chicken fried foods in Texas". Just look at the mouth-watering gravy on that header!

Think of this blog as a 10-year-old boy's cigar box of toys. That box includes hip hop music links, hilarious gifs and awesome internet memes. There is also a regular sneaker feature and links to items brentabousko would like to own.

MaryT, America's Sweetheart, may have left the bayous of Houston for the piney woods of Nacogdoches a few years ago, but that doesn't mean we don't still enjoy reading her blog, French Roast, now in its sixth year. MaryT has opinions on a lot of topics, from English majors to language to even more language. Sure, personal blogs are a dime a dozen, but what makes French Roast worth reading is the unique, sarcastic voice with which MaryT writes and the conviction with which she expresses herself.
