Does Richard Westenra publish articles or a blog on his website?

Yes. richardwestenra.com is described as his portfolio and blog, and the site includes an "Articles & things" section alongside his client work. That section mixes his own posts with a linkblog of curated external links, so visitors can both read what he writes and follow what he recommends.

What the site says about his writing

The site's own description frames it as a portfolio and blog rather than a portfolio alone. The "Articles & things" heading sits next to the client work list, which tells you the writing is a deliberate part of the site, not an afterthought.

His stated interests give a good idea of what the writing covers:

• Interactive data visualisation
• Responsive, performant web applications
• Accessibility
• Open web standards
• Usability

He works mainly with React and D3, and describes more than twelve years of front-end experience, so the articles sit in that territory rather than in general commentary.

What the linkblog adds

The linkblog is a curated feed of links to external sources, not original posts. The topics visible in it include design, analytics and technology — for example, a primer on cultural differences in design and analytics, a piece on OpenAI and Elon Musk's plan for artificial intelligence, and an article on the English question and British politics.

That mix is useful if you want a filtered reading list rather than only his own writing. It also shows the range of what he considers worth sharing: design and analytics practice, tech industry news, and general-interest long reads.

Who it's for

The writing is worth following if you work in front-end development, data visualisation or web accessibility, or if you want a curated set of links on those subjects. If you're looking for a high-volume personal blog with frequent opinion pieces, the format here is closer to occasional articles plus a link feed.

How to find it

Go to richardwestenra.com and look for the "Articles & things" section, which appears alongside the client work list. From there you can read his posts and follow the external links he recommends. The same site also hosts his portfolio, so you can move between the writing and the client projects — including data-visualisation work for clients such as Totally Money, Photoworld, Concert Hotels and Simply Business — without leaving the page.
