I recently grabbed the BlamBot! address (http://www.blambot.com/) from FunkyGamers recent thread.
And although I'm not 'heavily' into web development, I've got a couple of sites floating about the net.
One of the biggest problems I found while attempting to build the sites was finding any half-decent resources, (for fonts, CGI and PHP scripts, etc) from the web
I found myself spending hours, even days trawling through useless sites, just to find the right font stlye for the homepage title.
And although as I spend more time site building in the future that I'll have a slowly expanding decent resource list, which will cut down surfing...
I thought that maybe by sharing our collective sources here we could help save each other a few hours of our lives (which can be more valuable used in sleeping, drinking, etc)
Any recommendations?

lol... yeah, that’s right. Though I suspect you project was a good deal better than my unfortunate creation (I don’t think I ever managed to play a game completely without it crashing)... I hear that Dark Basic is a pretty neat interface to DirectX (especially Direct3D) which gives you a pretty powerful package... Although, while I was looking at other versions of JET PAC lately I noticed they needed portable versions of the basic interpreter before they would work (I seem to remember AMOS doing the same, but I could be wrong?)

I second the recommendation by Nimco of http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/ it's what I always used to use, but be careful, some of the articles might be a bit dated.
For search engine stuff, nip over to http://www.searchenginewatch.com, for ASP stuff try http://www.asp101.com.
