Good Content Sites

I made a list for a family member of sites that I like to visit that have good content, especially for Latter-day Saints. Most of the sites have material that you can download for free. I gave directions on how to access the material in, what I thought to be, very easy to understand language. I'm just copying and pasting into this post. If you have other sites that you think should be listed, let me know. I know that I don't know about all the good sites out there.

1.Starting from http://www.lds.org, you can:
a. Download MP3s for free (Conference talks, scriptures, church magazines, hymns). On the left side, click on Gospel Library and then click on Audio.
b. Search the scriptures (word, phrase, or topic). On the left side, click on Gospel Library and then click on The Scriptures. At the top click on Search.
c. Search conference talks (word or phrase). On the top, click on "Search." In the bottom menu, select Ensign and then type in your word or phrase and search.

2.Starting from http://speeches.byu.edu, you can:
a. Download MP3s for free (BYU Devotional Addresses). On the left, search or browse by speaker, topic, media type, and/or year. After finding a devotional, you can read it and/or download an MP3.
b. Build a DVD of up to three talks for $12.95. On the left, click on Build a Custom DVD. Add up to three talks using the menu options.

3.Starting from www.byubroadcasting.org, you can:
a. Download MP3s for free (an almost endless variety from talks to television programs). On the left, you can either click on "Find a talk" at the top to search for someone or something specific or you can use the menu "All Links" at the bottom left to find MP3s from a particular conference or program. If you choose a recurring program, such as BYU Education Week, you will need to click on Media Archive after getting to the page of that program.
b. Watch BYU TV or listen to BYU Radio. In the upper right corner of the page, there is a golden menu called "Live Streams." Click on whatever you would like to watch or listen to.

4. Starting from www.byu.tv, you can:
a. Watch any program from BYU TV that aired in the last few weeks.

5. Starting from www.ldsaudio.com, you can:
a. Purchase MP3 books, music, and talks. You can search for an authors, singers, topics, titles, etc. This is a for-profit company not run by the Church.

6. Starting from www.ldsces.org, you can:
a. Read any Institute or Seminary Manual. Click on either "Seminary Study Guides" or "Institute Manuals" in the top menu. Underneath the picture of each manual, you can select PDF or HTML. If you are just browsing, you will probably select HTML. You can click on the chapter in the new popup window and read what the manual has to say.

7. Starting from www.deseretbook.com/mormon-life, you can:
a. Find supporting information for lessons. On the right side of the page is a section called "Gospel Study." Underneath each section, you will find a list of the quorums and auxiliary organizations of the Church and the lesson each is scheduled to be giving that week. You can click on the link to read more information for that lesson. If the website is on a different schedule than your class, you can click on your organization name on the very right side, (For example, Relief Society) and you will find all past lessons and information.

8. Starting from http://scriptures.byu.edu, you can:
a. Find and read all General Conference references to any scripture.
