Hi Kate,
(for context: I am a front-end developer working mainly on websites and interactives at the Natural History Museum)
If you wanted to try something offline, give Net magazine a go. It has such a broad range of topics, articles and tutorials every month and is always an interesting read - I swear by it!
TutsPlus and Sitepoint are excellent tutorial sites and you could try an email newsletter - for example I subscribe to newsletters such as Responsive Design Weekly and something called the Web Development Reading List which just has so many links relating to so many topics each week, it is fantastic. There are many email newsletters out there so I'm sure you'll find one (or lots) that take your fancy. Also I signed up to Twitter primarily to follow the "big names" in the web industry - even amongst all the junk that Twitter spits out I still find something useful almost every day. You may already be on there or perhaps you might want to give that a go. I can send you a few names to follow if you are interested.
I have always found web development books and magazines to be more helpful than online courses - I guess that's just my preference - but the main thing is always to try and put into practice what you have absorbed (through whatever medium). And whatever you start learning, show it to others! Sharing what you are trying to do is so valuable and you never know what others can help you with.
Good luck and have fun! And please let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help.
Thanks
Theo
