Content Marketing and Development
Content Marketing Institute: Tons of how-to guides, industry trend updates, and plain ol' good advice. P.S. I've enjoyed their "This Old Marketing" podcast too.
Contently's Content Strategist Blog: I feel like every time I read Contently editorials, I think to myself, "Damn, that's good."
Moz: Moz's main jam is SEO (and that's what I use them for, even though they have content marketing tools too). Bottom line? You can't have strong content marketing without strong SEO.
Google Analytics: Because what gets measured gets managed.

Grammar Nerdiness
Chicago Manual of Style Q&A: Other people obsess over semicolons too!
Jane Straus' Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation: RIP, Ms. Straus. Her legacy lives on here with witty and insightful editorial tips. I love taking their mini grammar quizzes.
Merriam-Webster: I look up words all the time. All. The. Time. I also enjoy their other content for logophiles. (Hello, word games!)
