Gosh, I didn't realize that I had so many links that I hadn't featured yet! This post covers more on informational and instructional websites and blogs.
Book of Lieh-Tzü
The text of another book related to philosophical Taoism translated by Lionel Giles in 1912.

Taoism Forum
This is a Taoist discussion board.
Taoism Info
Lao Tzu and Taoism can not be separated. Lao Tzu is considered tLao Tzuo be the father of Taoism, thus when one studies Lao Tzu he/she studies Taoism too.
The Taoism of Lao Tzu is not only a religious system as one might think. Though Taoism exists as religion too, Lao Tzu's Taoism is a philosophical path. That is, the path of uniting man and Tao. This is why when we talk about Lao Tzu and Taoism we also talk about Tao or the Way.

Taoist Circle
At first the Taoist Circle started out as a very small mailing list made up of people who saw my quotes page and wanted me to send them some quotes by email.
That was then, but now the Taoist Circle has turned into more than just a mailing list. It has become one of the largest communities of Taoists on the net. I say community, for a community interacts in many ways with one another. Where a mailing list is just a bunch of people on the receiving end of an impersonal mass emailing.

Taoist Philosophy
From HowStuffWorks -- Taoist philosophy is closely related to the meaning of a single word: the Chinese word "Tao."
Every language, culture, and religion has words that convey more than one simple idea. Even though such words often have several layers of meaning, there is never any confusion as to what is being said.
Ask a dozen people, for example, to explain the word "heaven" -- as likely as not, you'll hear a dozen different definitions or descriptions. The same is true of the word "Tao," which is often translated as "way" or "path."

Tea House
A place to discuss the Tao in harmony. An excellent Taoist discussion forum moderated by Becca James & Derek Lin.
The Dao De Jing Illustrated
I began studying the Dao De Jing in college in 1980. I lived in Taiwan and China for 3 years in the mid 1980s and immersed myself in the subject. In 1988 I received an MA from Yale in Asian Studies. I'm not sure if this background makes me more or less qualified to say anything profound about the Dao De Jing. The Dao De Jing Warns against trying to define it. Ironically, it is one of the most translated and discussed texts in the history of literature.
For this blog I have selected lines from Laozi's text. Each illustration includes my chinese calligraphy version of the text incorporated into the painting. I translate each line and discuss it in an informal way.
