These are popular DooM-related sites, plus some sites I recommend.

DooM Center - DooM Center, sadly, has died an untimely death. The site is defunct, and cannot be accessed any more.

The ZDooM Knowledge Base - Rick "Wild Man" Clark has put together an unsurpassed set of tutorials on editing for ZDooM. Using screen-shots and other illustrations, Rick walks the reader through the steps of creating the marvellous special effects that ZDooM offers.
