Essential Greyhawk Web Resources Joe Bloch's Greyhawk Grognard web site and blog - an old-school approach to Greyhawk; Joe has also compiled several useful resources for Greyhawk research, most especially his Greyhawk Lore Project (a compilation of Greyhawk research notes culled from many sources)
Ant "Echohawk" Brooks' Greyhawk Collector's Guide - the most-comprehensive listing of Greyhawk products created to date. It definitely supercedes other such listings, including Russ Taylor's Greyhawk Product Checklist. Ant also has similar listings for each edition and setting of D&D, with discussion and updates still being made in the Greyhawk Collector's Guide thread.
Canonfire! - _the_ Greytalk fans web site, and it's Greyhawk forums; as of July 2020, the site in the midst of some long-needed upgrades and overhauls!
vestcoat's "Greyhawk Year In Review" threads provide a very useful retrospective look at continuing development---official and unofficial---of the Greyhawk setting:

Minifigs released a line of World of Greyhawk miniatures back in the late 1970s (drawn primarily, although not exclusively from Minifigs' pre-existing ranges of Aureola Rococo, Swamp Lords, and Valley of the Four Winds):
TSR and Minifigs included a flyer for the World of Greyhawk line of miniatures in the 1980 Greyhawk Folio (primarly in the first and fifth printings of the folio set, per The Acaeum). I've scanned the World of Greyhawk Minifigs miniatures flyer as a PDF file, and also provided larger and smaller JPG images of each side of the flyer as distinct images/downloads: Flyer front - larger, smaller
Flyer back - larger, smaller
Joe Bloch's catalogue-style listing of Greyhawk Minifigs with commentary is a wonderful resource for anyone desiring to use GH Minifigs in their campaigns---either the figures themselves, or the implied background materials from the titles and design of each miniature

Blogs and Videos Joe Bloch's Greyhawk Grognard
Mike "Mortellan" Bridge's Greyhawkery blog, full of great Greyhawk articles, World of Greyhawk comics archive (a hilarious parody of all things Greyhawk), and more!
Mike recently (as of October 2018) teamed up with Anna Meyer to launch "Legends & Lore"---a new show on the Greyhawk Channel (run by DM Shane). As its title suggests, the L&L show focuses on Greyhawk's legends, background, and in-game setting history, cartography, and other fun topics that can inspire your Greyhawk games, or help you dig deeper into Greyhawk's rich tapestry of content sources. I don't watch shows live, but do catch them when they're posted to the Legends & Lore Playlist on YouTube (also a part of the Greyhawk Channel on YouTube).
Scott "Scottenkainen" Casper and Mike "Mortellan" Bridges are publishing a wonderful Castle Greyhawk web comic, inspired by Scott's Castle Greyhawk fictions from BITD on Greytalk (but better, since they're expanding the storyline from the originals, and Mike's art is a great addition to the stories!) Greytalk Archives, as slowly being recreated by Scott "Scottenkainen" Casper
Magazines Dragonsfoot's "Footprints" magazine features quite a bit of Greyhawk content, including many articles from Lenard Lakofka

DragonDex, is, of course, the best index of Dragon Magazine available
The Oerth Journal - a free, online fanzine produced by the fans, and for the fans. The GHO site has a nice database that will keyword filter articles by title/author!

Maps Professional Maps Darlene Pekul's maps from the 1980 Greyhawk Folio remain the defacto standard for all Greyhawk maps. Buy a copy on eBay and laminate them. You'll never regret it.
Paizo Publishing printed a four-part poster map of Greyhawk in Duneon Magazine issues 118 through 122; it's well-wroth buying the back issues for the maps and then laminating them (unlike the Darlene maps, the Paizo maps need to be laminated since they're on very low-weight paper stock).
Fan Maps Web sites with Greyhawk cartography seems to come and go with much more frequency than it's possible to keep up with. At any given time, the following links are the most likely to be out of date on this page. Eric Anondson's Greyhawk maps (also hosted on Canonfire!)
Anna Bernemalm's Greyhawk Maps site - BEAUTIFUL work!
Anna also promotes and manages the Flanaess Geographical Society on Facebook, which is a group filled with mostly-maps-related Greyhawk discussions
Daniel Rivera's T1-4 maps are fabulous: Hommlet, Nulb, The Welcom Wench, the Moathouse, etc, etc.---well-worth checking out!
Halfling's CC2 page (various maps; I especially like those from GDQ)
Kent Matthewson's composite map is indispensable to using Ivid the Undying
MStanton's Annotated Map from the City of Greyhawk Boxed Set
Paul Stormberg's maps for the Hommlet-Nulb region around T1-4: DM Map (in B&W) and Players Map TalMeta's World of Greyhawk maps
PC and Online Gaming Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil - a faithful 3.5 edition version of Gygax and Mentzer's 1985 classic dungeon!
Neverwinter Nights Greyhawk Adventures - the hub for Greyhawk NWN development includes "Who Wants to be a Greyhawk Guru" trivia game, with some tricky questions
Useful NWN DM advice can be found the article "DM Profiles: Sweeney Todd and Duncan"
Thief - while technically not a Greyhawk game, the atmosphere, backstabbing, and intricate plot-weavings of Looking Glass Studios' and Ion Storm's wonderful PC games are, for me, quintessential Greyhawk City fodder (sans the Murlynd-inspired artifacts of the Mechanists, of course...)
Eidos' Thief: The Dark Project, Thief Gold, and Thief II: The Metal Age established the line...
...and Thief: Deadly Shadows (aka, Thief 3), continued it
