The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation I've found it basic and easy to understand and simple to use and the tests at the end of each page can be a lot of fun. I'm sure that other writers, GEs and betas must have their own favourite grammar/punctuation websites too. So why not post their links here too?

This is the site I recommend, to FoLCs and to my students, although I do warn them about the 'serial comma' rule which applies to the US and not to the UK. It's the Guide to Grammar and Writing site created by Professor Charles Darling. And, yes, if anyone else has any good ones, let's hear about 'em! You can never have too many grammar guides...

I also like: Apostrophes Grammar Links Grammar Myths Jack Lynch -- my absolute favorite grammar guide! Grammar forums -- because you can never be on enough forums. Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. - Under the Tuscan Sun

Speaking of forums, one of my favourite sites is the Dictionary.com forum at Delphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/dictionary/start . It doesn't give any hard-and-fast rules, but the discussions are wide-ranging and frequently fascinating. Mere A diabolically, fiendishly clever mind.
