Lensmaster Chadrew maintains a views and tips blog called Squidography. It's touch and go whether it qualifies as for inclusion here as there are more views than news/tips; however, the tips that are presented are exceptionally well explained which is why I have chosen to include it. As it isn't updated very often and may or may not be on target, I've limited it to one excerpted feed.
