I've updated the first post now; I now have everyone's logs linked to, thanks!
I'd now like to add some resources to the currently empty second post. Suggestions are very welcome: do you have any favourite sites or other resources for learning or for finding good things to read or watch? If so then please let me know!

To buy digital editions of Italian magazines for Android, iOS and PC.
Zinio
To listen to Italian radio stations by region. Might be useful if you wanted to train
your ear to the accent spoken in a particular part of the country. They also offer a free
and paid app for smartphone and tablet. Paid app allows you to record radio to listen to
offline.

Thanks for the resources so far!
What are the advantages of these dictionaries? I'm reluctant to put links to several sites that all do the same thing, but if each one has its own benefits over the others then it could be worth it. I've always just used WordReference and I love it, but maybe there are better ones out there!

There may be no advantage. ;) You asked for our favourite sites and I mentioned mines. To be honest I didn't know WordReference and it seems to be very good resource. What may be the plus is that Collins Dictionary at the bottom have the translation to other languages but I'm not sure if that's enough to add it to the second post.
