The newest Creative Suite version will include a new wrinkle in Help. You're going to be able to search the help topics along with a number of community resources—blogs, user forums, knowledge base articles, and so forth. The search is basically a limited Google search. I'll add links to the best sites in the Custom Search Engine, and those sites will show up in search results, ranked according to Google's metrics.
I want you to let me know what your favorite InDesign websites are. If you have a blog, leave your link in a comment, and I'll consider adding your website to the search engine. I can also add links to the best videos and articles in the related help topics, either directly or as a comment.
Here are some of my favorite InDesign resources:
Getting Started
Lynda.com tutorials - Subscription site, but many videos are free.
Blogs
InDesign Secrets - David Blatner and Anne Marie Concepción provide a steady stream of podcasts, videos, articles, and tips.
The InDesigner - Michael Murphy's excellent videos and articles
Seneca Design - Anne-Marie again. The InCopy site is one of the best resources for InCopy workflows.
Tim Cole's InDesign BackChannel - News and resources.
Instant InDesign - Video podcasts and downloadable exercise files from Gabriel Powell.
Creative Mentor - I like the format of providing videos to go with the articles.
User Forums
Videos and Podcasts
Adobe TV - Check out the Caffe Fibonacci videos with Tim Cole and Rufus Deuchler.
Creative Sweet - Get it? Sweet, not Suite? Oh, nevermind.
Have I missed any of your favorite sites? Let me know by leaving a comment or emailing me (bbringhu at adobe dot com).
People can try out the new Community Help search now:

Hi Bob, you're welcome to add Creative Curio to your list! I don't always publish InDesign articles, but many have found the ones I do have useful (and I remember that you liked my Layers explanation!). The best way to access all the relevant articles on CC is through the InDesign tag. Thanks for the consideration!
[Bob: Thanks. I had already added you to the Google search engine.]
Hey Bob,
I just wanted to plug my own resource for InDesign shortcuts. Available in interactive PDF and editable native InDesign formats for Mac / PC for CS2 / CS3...
indesign1200.com
I'm currently working on CS4 versions as we speak. The native files explore various features within InDesign. It's an opportunity for users to discover what InDesign can do...
If I need any street cred, Tim can vouch for me... :) He actually posted an entry a bit ago touting me as the Patron Saint of InDesign shortcuts... That Tim-guy, what a crazy, putting me in stain glass... LOL
It's nice to see that I wasn't missing any of those great ID resources from my bookmarks... :)
