The Yale C/AIM Style Guide is often cited -- http://info.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/index.html
(The handsome splash screen contains a sequence of turtles and fish
-- I haven't quite fathomed how it works -- but I guess for a splash
screen it's appropriate)
Fellow TECHWR-Ler Nancy L. Hoft has one of the better lists of stuff
at her good site: http://www.world-ready.com/index.htm
Go to Reading on the Web and hit Web Publishing Sites
I would also recommend search engine searches on subjects you have in
mind such as Web Site Design, Graphical User Interface Design,
Usability, Style Guides, and so forth.
