Actually, after the busiest of time I've been learning a new language, and traveled to a nearby country which enabled me to push myself to the limit to use it (and to forget them all at once, sadly). Also I've been working on creating chatroom stickers, but unfortunately it requires an actual bank or postal account to publish them, I was forced to put it in an idle state.
Soon, my dream of using Blender has come true. My mom incidentally found a mouse lingering around somewhere in my house, so finally I'm getting access to its full features! Isn't it great?
Below are the tutorial sites I've found so far:
Blender Cookie, a subdivision of CG Cookie: This is the first tutorial site that I've found, and it provides free account users to access the discussion/ comments board below free video posts. Of course you can also get exclusive courses by signing up for Citizen memberships, though you will be charged depending on that whether you are registered to a one-month, three-month, half-year, one-year or ultimately, lifetime account. If you're lucky enough, you might get a three-day free trial to the Citizen contents like I did last week.
I've enjoyed it very much but I can't seem to tag along very well that I haven't got any of my projects done. ~Cries~
Blender Guru: Haven't got my hands on this site but the overview gave me an impression of a neat site full of cool stunts.
Blender Wiki: Pretty much like the other wikis on this planet. Great for reference.
Little Web Hut (tutor4u): This is TOTALLY AWESOME! Each video were not as long as those of other sites, so most people are still staying in their attention span even when the video has finished, and the tutorials are very explicit! The beginners' lessons did not introduce hotkeys, to make life easier (they're uber-important, which is why I recommend everyone to watch the Blender Basics this instant from Blender Cookie! And remember to take notes to help you memorize!), but as you move on the instructor will use them gradually. Anyhoo, try this first, along with my advice!!

Blenderpedia: I guess this guy is Dutch and he makes super realistic sceneries! Haven't gone through his site but here's his youtube channel for a brief overview.
金門大學陳鍾誠教授的網站 (Written in Traditional Chinese):如果非要看中文教學的話,由這裡入門是很不錯的選擇!個人認為由投影片下手最容易。
另外台灣還有個叫blender小聚的‘FB-->雜誌’社團,但出了四期就沒下文了。

原來雜誌創辦人之一德魯依還在持續更新他的部落格 (Written in Traditional Chinese)!
