I recommend that you don't read/follow any of these web-designer types and instead just google the specific tools and techniques you need when you need them.
These guys tend to be verbose and repetitive, mostly just to build their posse and expand their reach. Life is too short to be plugged into them; just think of all the "X essential Y" type posts, they have whole sites devoted to them, and if you read a few of them you will realize how little content there is.
