Update Blog section
Removed several defunct blogs: - Ruby Inside: last updated in 2014 (4 years ago) - O'Reilly Ruby: doesn't exist anymore - Matz' Blog: not updated since 2014 - Slashdot link, since https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=Ruby reveals almost no recent mentions of Ruby, Reddit and HN are far more active these days. Added: - RubyFlow: replacement for Ruby Inside as community-submitted news - Ruby Weekly: although not a blog, arguably the most popular news source and since #1465 was a tough sell for a single Newsletter, I believe it belongs on this list Changed: - the title was "Weblogs" even though the body uses "Blogs", let's be consistent as "weblog" has fallen out of fashion, or rather has never been in fashion to begin with: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=weblog,blog Also took the opportunity to replace number-based reference links to make @stomar happy. Even though he hates my verbose commit messages. <3
