Summary

  • Adds five English blogs sourced from the OHF Home Assistant Creator
    Network applications and broader community: KPeyanski, fixtse,
    Michael Leen, Phil Hawthorne, and Frenck.
  • Adds three German-language blogs (simon42, smarterkram, SmartHome
    yourself) under a new 🌍 In other languages sub-subsection,
    mirroring the structure of the YouTube Channels section.
  • Lightly polishes the seven existing entries to drop marketing fluff
    ("great", etc.) and align with the voice rules in AGENTS.md.

Test plan

  • npx awesome-lint@2.3.0 is green.
  • Lychee picks up the new URLs without 4xx/5xx.

Adds five English blogs (KPeyanski, fixtse, Michael Leen, Phil Hawthorne,
Frenck) and three German-language blogs (simon42, smarterkram, SmartHome
yourself), and splits the Blogs subsection into English and "In other
languages" sub-subsections to mirror the YouTube Channels structure.

Lightly polishes the existing entries to drop "great" / "best" marketing
fluff and align with the voice rules in AGENTS.md.
