I'd like to add Glenn Berry's SQL Server Performance blog.

I'll add to the list Erland Sommarskog. He has a home page here. I don't know if he maintains a blog anywhere, but he's active on the SQL Server newsgroups and a couple different forums.

I also like a lot of Joe Celko's stuff, which is interesting because he and Erland disagree on a lot of things. Celko also doesn't have a blog that I know of, but again is somewhat active on the newsgroups and forums as well as having many books out on SQL. He has a web page here.

Joe Celko is now writing for simple-talk.com on a semi-regular basis.
