It seems you are mostly sticking with sites/blogs that mostly stick
with English.  Here are some other notable ones:

http://david-crystal.blogspot.com/
http://arnoldzwicky.wordpress.com/
http://english-jack.blogspot.com/
http://heideas.blogspot.com/

Many of these blogs have blogrolls that list other good ones.
