This is a pretty useful site when it comes to learning about effective presentation skills. It highlights delivery, content, visual aids, and Q&A sessions. The site has written tips, as well as video examples for each subtopic.

I think that this is a really good resource. It lists a lot valid arguments for not doing or doing certain things as far as the design of your page goes. They detail why certain design elements are bad choices and how to avoid them. The site also contains a lot of images and videos that are examples of "web pages that suck." The website is pretty humorous, too.

This website lists "10 Principles Of Effective Web Design" that I believe are very useful. The images and information about where the users eyes fall and how to strategically organize your page are all helpful in designing not only blogs but any web page. These tips are very effective because they view everything from the users' perspective, saying things such as "users follow their intuition" or "users want to have control." I think that the aspects mentioned are good to take into account when design a site.

Letters, Memos, E-mail

I didn't realize that my favorite link was already shared by Valerie! I'll post my second favorite link, too. I think that this site has a very concise approach of defining and giving examples of technical communication.

This is actually appears to be an online textbook for a technical writing course. I found that the introduction and many of the examples/models were great tools in helping to understand chapter 1. Also, I think the page in itself is a great example of technical writing.
