A few days ago, while I was looking around an art website, I found a link to Lucas Cobb's design blog. One of the things I noticed immediately while browsing his posts is that he doesn't really show off his work on that site. He has a link to a portfolio, but that isn't an integral part of the blog itself.
What Cobb seems to focus on is giving tips for design, like where to look for help, what trends are popular lately, and just some general guidelines about design-related problems and how to do things. He's got a tag named tutorials, too, but they're less step-by-step instructions than they are a general base to work off of. The front page of the blog also has a news section that gets updated frequently with new articles. Looking through those, they seem pretty helpful too, and show how Cobb has set up a network by linking to other useful design blogs that visitors can explore.
More than anything, Lucas Cobb appears to really want to help other designers out, if he can. He offers his opinions on design problems, as well as some possible solutions, and isn't afraid to direct people elsewhere so they can find what they need. I think his blog is a good resource, for designers of any level, and I know I'll be going back in the future to give it a more thorough look.
