Good sites for beginners

Can anyone recommend a good site for beginners to take them through the basics?

Once you understand the rules of chess and want to start learning tactics, try www.chesstactics.org

http://chess.about.com/od/beginners/

Chesswise.com - If it ever comes back online

Thanks for the help
