Since there are so many people interested in photography information lately, I figured I'd make a post with a bunch of the websites that I have found helpful throughout the past year or so that I have been into DSLR. We've got some excellent resources right here in our own backyard but nothing like a little information overload...
A few of these have been referenced by others in various threads but I figured a central collection might be helpful...
Digital Photography School - Good site where people share techniques, offer critique, and even have weekly/monthly assignments that are judged...
http://digital-photography-school.com/
POTN Forums - Another good info site. Technically it's a Canon-based site but alot of the techniques carry over to all cameras.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/
Fred Miranda Forums - Similar to the above but they offer a lot of lens/gear reviews so you can see actual user opinions on a certain item before you buy it.
http://www.fredmiranda.com/
Canon DSLR Camera Site - Great Tutorials. This site is centered around a Canon but again, the basic functions seem universal.. where they're located on the camera is different.
http://web.canon.jp/imaging/enjoydslr/
Another site similar to the above. Focused around the Canon XT but you can pick up useful info to be used on any platform.

DP Review - Site that reviews and offers user reviews of tons of gear from all manufacturers.
http://www.dpreview.com
Photozone - This site features many in-depth reviews of lenses. More info than you could ever want to know actually...
http://www.photozone.de
Pixel-Peeper - offers lens reviews, sample images, etc.
http://www.pixel-peeper.com/
These were just the ones I have bookmarked. More might come to mind later... :D
