A writer continues to grow and change in their style of writing, but getting the grammar right is the basis of good writing. Of all the links I went through, most of them provided tips on improving style. However, this one http://jprof.com/editing/gspdguide.html helps out with the very basic grammar rules that we tend to forget once out of high school. For example, it explains the difference between who and whom, two pronouns that are often incorrectly interchanged. So there are several such minute grammatical details that we tend to ignore otherwise, but are pertinent to a good piece of writing.
It also describes how a common error of a comma splice can completely ruin the meaning of a sentence, and how to overcome this problem. This is one tip in particular that I found extremely useful, as I find a lot of run-on sentences in my writing. It's hard for me to wrap-up a thought and end a sentence.
