My customers/users. They give me specific advice on how to make my product better, AND they sometimes give me money (without taking an equity stake).

Sounds like customers are the main thing a company needs!

Hopefully this is helpful to some of you. I took some time to compile a list of startup resources ranging from Marketing to Hiring. This list is by no means exhaustive,but it isn't bad.

To make it better, I need your help.

Are there any sites/templates/blogs that you would recommend to young entrepreneurs? If so, what are they?

I want to include as many of your suggestions as I can.

(P.S. - offline "resources" are also welcome)

Why not just make it a wiki? I'm experimenting with a wiki for developers and testers about which libraries and services actually work (http://www.devdiligence.com). It is pretty hard to get people to update a wiki page with what they know -- I imagine it will be even harder to get people outside of this community to send you info.

"Startup" is a pretty broad category, but for funding advice, http://www.venturehacks.com is hard to beat.

Good point, added.
