Drupal is a powerful and very flexible content management system, but with that it can be complex and at times very frustrating. However, Drupal arguably has the largest community of users and is willing to help with nearly any issue that you may run into.
Below are links to various resources that I personally use that have been invaluable in my learning and understanding on how Drupal works and how to just get things done.
Drupal Official Documentation
The Drupal official documentation is very detailed and should be bookmarked by every Drupal content manager, developer and site administrator. Below is a subset of the documentation that I find myself revisiting frequently.
Blogs
The Drupal official blog is regularly updated with news and information about the latest releases, new features, and Drupal events and security advisories as well as other topics related to Drupal.
Web Omelette blog run by Daniel Sipos, Drupal developer and author of the book Drupal 10 Module Development. I frequently visit this blog to see what new Drupal nuggets Daniel has to share with the community.
Lullabot was instrumental in my early education with Drupal 7 and continues to be insightful, not only on the topic of Drupal, but other web technologies as well.
