If you're like me, you probably don't have a set of up-to-date ESL bookmarks that covers what you may need tomorrow and what you needed yesterday. If you're in a bind or using someone else's computer, searcihng the wwwasteland can be annoying. Why don't we pool our resources and come up with a comprehensive set we can all keep up to date and access here and/or download? We can start by first compiling a category list. Once that's done, we can all suggest sites for each category; and finally, put them to a vote to shortlist them. Sound like a good idea? Well, here's my suggestion for cats, subs and subsubs. What've I neglected?
