This might be outdated but I found it very useful:
Stock Series
Others here can maybe suggest some good books as I've done the majority of my research online.
Another good place to start:
Bogleheads
More information about yourself would also be useful if you're looking for advice on here. Age, risk tolerance, etc.

Are you near a Scott Trade office?
$7 per trade.
They will not tell you what to invest in, but they will show you how to use the filters for you to find 5-star mutual funds, or how to track a stock.
I believe Yahoo Finance has a story about 5 Vanguard funds to watch.
If I were starting out, with 10,000, I would put $5000 in a health care fund (we are all getting older) and $2500 each in Vanguards Wellington Fund and Wellesley (sp) Fund.

I'd recommend The Gone Fishing Portfolio. Not sure how great it is but I learned a lot. Its basis is saving money where you can, like on trade prices and fees.
Most people make it more complicated than what it truly is. I'd start either a Schwab or Vanguard account, and start off buying only Schwab or Vanguard ETF's or Mutual Funds depending on which one of those you pick. These are both extremely low cost, safe, and you can trade them with no costs. Believe me that $7, 8.99, etc per trade really adds up when you are only buying $500 or 1000 of something.
Then I'd also recommend spending about $500 total on 3 or 4 different single Large Cap stocks. Some that you are interested in like Ford if you drive a F150 or Apple or google or netflix or something.
Its important to understand the difference between how single stocks move compared to how the market in general moves.

Buy a Large Cap Index fund.
It's a lot easier.
