You can also try
www.elvish.org
This is for language.
This is a site for fonts:
http://www.geocities.com/fontmaster.geo/
They are also an interesting site.

Not many (crazy) fans like to see Hal paired off with Dernie. Some see it as the sister of the King of Rohan slumming in the dirt with a common woodsman.
Maybe she likes the dirt...
Kinda like lusting over the sexy guy who does the lawn...

Haldir does the edging, hmmm. Every once in a while its time to let the gene pool breathe, otherwise you get...well...you get the royal family.

When someone asks me about learning Sindarin, I always refer them to the Council of Elrond, as Ellisk did, and I tell them to get the Dragon Flame Downloadable Dictionary.
The lessons at the Council of Elrond are very easy to follow and the best part is that you get a mentor and get to do homework to practice. They also have a great message board and the members are always willing to help.
Good luck!

I have a piece of advice from personal experience.
 Do NOT go to Grey Company for Elvish phases!!!!
I know this because I did and got a bunch of crap Elvish phrases. If you type in elvish phrases in yahoo search features, it is the first site that comes up. However, it is not accurate. I had tons of elvish in stories that I found out were BS phrases made up by that site.
 Thanks to the Sindarin Goddesses, Thuriniel and Space Weavil, I have now corrected all of my "grey elvish".
Here is the site to NOT NOT NOT NOT use.  http://www.grey-company.org/Circle/language/phrase.htm
And Ghetto - quit laughing about my grey elvish, cuz I know you are!

Good point, Al.
The sites that ARE good resources versus the ones that AREN'T.
"Grelvish" is good for a chuckle though, as long as you see it for what it is. 
BTW, did you know that supposedly the Professor himself DID indeed create names for the naughty parts of the elves? Quenya or Sindarin...I cannot recall...
Evidently he did so back in the 1920s... Very poetic, if I can recall, and musical to the ears...
