101 Best

The Writer's Digest people, in a combination popularity and judged contest, compose a list of writing websites each year dubbed the The 101 Best Websites for Writers. There's no clue as to the standards used for selection, but they are arranged into 12 categories: articles, tips and discussion boards; creativity; general resources; genres; jobs; just for fun; media resources; niches; online writing and critique groups; online writing groups offering classes; organizations; and publishing resources. That's a difficult call because some sites try to cover all bases, risking doing all poorly. The previous four years' lists are available. If you just want to check if a site name is listed, see the alphabetical listing. Let me clearly state that I do not endorse any of these sites as an aid to writers unless I've already posted here about them.
