For new DM's I can really recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/DMAcademy/
For more advanced creative DM advice their bigger sister subreddit can be visited https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/
And if you like discussions with GM's from other games you can visit https://www.reddit.com/r/AskGameMasters/
I have always found Reddit useless and confusing.
But, I will say these threads actually make sense to me. They look good, thanks for posting and for something that might just change my mind about reddit.
 

Other than EN World, I don't have time to keep up with to many blogs and forums. But there are a small number that I do make an effort to check regularly:

DM David (http://dmdavid.com/), this is such an excellent blog. Well thought out and well written by an experience DM who combines an interest with D&D history with advice on how to be a good DM. He also has a number of excellent resources and tutorials that were invaluable to me as a new DM, including a dungeon tile gallery (along with a system for marking and organizing them), a tutorial on sizing battlemaps for printing at 1"=5' scale, and some excellent photo guides to Dungeon Master Tools. If you have not been reading DM David, you are missing out.

DnD Beyond. I really like the forum platform, but it is not EN World. I like the EN World community better and don't have time to be active in two forums. But I do skim over the DnD Beyond forums every now and then and will often cross-post DnD-specific questions there.

Lastly, I am a big fan of the Web DM You Tube channel. I watch their Wednesday videos religiously.

You're welcome :)
When I started DM'ing there was no dedicated place for that yet on Reddit, just the general big /r/DnD one.
It's really helpful.
I'm a mod on the last sub so should you pass by then feel free to shoot me a message to say hi.
 

RPGnet d20 forum has some decent 5e discussion.

For adventures I mostly use Pathfinder & OSR material and convert. Dyson's Delves is one great OSR resource I use a lot.
 



Surprised to be the first person to list the AngryGM:http://theangrygm.com it's been a trove of useful stuff for me. (I know his style is not to everyone's taste but there's a ton of good stuff there).
He's on the list of mine I posted above.

I agree, he has some really useful posts, but I find I have to be in the right mood to read what he writes otherwise it annoys me and I can't get past his attitude to see the actual content/value of his writing.

I know it's his "shtick", but I would love to see him put it aside and just get to the heart of his posts.
