I just remembered collections of potentially useful blogs I posted on my blog.
Resources for Worldbuilders – Fantasy Blogs
Worldbuilding School - learn to build an imaginary world
Blog providing large number of guides and resources for worldbuilding. Most of these are focused on map making and drawing, but there are also other resources available.
Home - Worldbuilding Magazine
An online magazine focused on worldbuilding. It has freely available PDF issues of the magazine, as well as the podcast. Each issue of magazine contains a number of detailed articles on various questions faced by worldbuilders. Articles include guides, interviews as well as short stories. Blog also has a podcast, and links to several relevant blogs.
Worldbuilding – Mythcreants
Mythcreants is an “online publication for speculative fiction storytellers”. It covers a wide range of topics, which also includes specific worldbuilding topics.
A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry
Blog is run by Bret Deveraux, a historian (or a history teacher?). It contains a large number of topics that would be useful for worldbuilders, ranging from commentary on military in speculative fiction to real-world topics such as bread-making. List of most useful articles can be found on his “resources for worldbuilders” page. These articles are detailed and cover a wide range of topics.
WorldBuilding Archives - Fluff about Fantasy
Blog covers a wide range of topics, from categorization of dragons to figuring out average character’s daily life. Posts are not very long, but still provide a good overview of issues inherent in the topics. For the most part however these are questions, which reader is supposed to answer himself.
