This site run by Bob Johnson is well worth a visit.
The Archive section of his Photo Tips pages are bursting with ideas based on experience and fact. He has published and archived weekly tips relating to most things concerning the relentless industry drive toward digital since 2001 and the addresses problems that crossover causes many photographers. 
For instance, there is an article which explodes the myth of DPI relating to monitors and how dpi and ppi are misunderstood - there is also a separate (but related) article on Colour Management.  Both these issues are important for film camera users who scan to PC and print as well as digital photographers who need to understand colour and image editing workflow to maintain consistency in the 'digital darkroom'. Its simply a huge archive of hard fact and neutral advice. He also Links to some pretty useful web sites also.
