Here are a few links I've collected over the last year or so:

http://www.bartleby.com/141/

Fowler, H. W. 1908. The King's English, 2nd edition:
http://www.bartleby.com/116/

Common Errors in English:
http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/errors/errors.html#resources

Notorious Confusables: Part One:

Grammar Girl blog: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/
Webgrammar's free tips: http://www.webgrammar.com/commonmistakes.html

Hope that helps. I particularly enjoy Grammar Girl, which seems to have quite an active following.
