Punctuation made simple This is a great little site that deals with most of the punctuation issues that cause trouble:
Colon | Semicolon | Comma | Apostrophe

Strangely it ignores the hyphen: one of my favourites! The Economist covers it extensively here. Particularly note their part 6: Adjectives formed from two or more words.
Another simple guide to punctuation is here.
