For this assignment we were required to include a webpage that is a good source of information for web designers overall. To these ends, I really like:
http://www.boxesandarrows.com/
Although not as technical as some other websites can be (like offering advice and solutions to tricky code), the site does offer articles from practicing web designer/information architecture professionals. Furthermore, it features blogs for designers, an event calendar, and just an ara to throw around ideas!

Blog Topic #1: Dude, this site is the coolest!
Being that I am trying to develop an information literacy tutorial site for my final project (and ultimately as a career goal) I choose UC Santa Cruz's own information literacy website.
http://nettrail.ucsc.edu/
What makes this website particularly interesting and innovative in my opinion was the ability to adequately streamline the tutorial process and integrate pictures, javascript, and flash animation into the learning process. This site is not as flashy as some other tutorials are (such as big flash rendered videos for introductions) but its information architecture is precise and to the point and has no trouble conveying the content/intent of the webpage itself.
