Grammar and Style Notes
Grammar and Style Notes, by web guru Jack Lynch (ala, Strunk & White)  This site includes grammatical rules, explanations, comments on style, and other suggestions for writing. http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/.
 
Reference Materials
Huge framed collection of writing resources, organized and mostly published out of Colorado State U. I recommend this site very highly. Though browsing through the frames can get old quickly, the consequent organization is worth the hassle.

Literacy Education Online
When it works, this is a great site, with a ton of very useful tools for writers. The server can be a bit unreliable, though, so use this site mainly during off-peak hours.

Elements of Style
The Strunk and White classic. Still one of the better writing guides around, though not as complete as some of the other sites listed above.

Indispensable Writing Resources Page
Sort of a tease, this site is actually more of an advertisement than anything else. Still, it does offer a decent set of links to both printed and electronic resources, and so it makes this list.
