    If you are referring to "News for Nerds" quoted in the headline then I think you're wrong. Firstly, the quote marks help to emphasize that the term really is being used as a quote (it's part of Slashdot's tag-line) rather than just generically. Secondly the quote marks tie those 3 words together for their purpose in the sentence, which is as a 'modifier' applying to the word "Sites".

    Not convinced? Then why not ask the people at that blog you linked to?

    Anyway, I commend you for trying, but it's probably worth you building up your expertise in this area before your next attempt.
