I love having a book in front of me, but right now I can't afford to buy anymore books and all my libraries suck, so I'm wondering what free sites/resources exist where I can learn about best practices for designing classes?

If you use PHP the OOP manual pages are invaluable. For the more cerebral resources, how about wikipedia?

A quick google search finds: http://www.oodesign.com/ which seems to provide an extensive collection of design patterns.

I think Martin Fowler's collection of enterprise patterns is very good...

I not only has his but has Gang of Four, java, Microsoft, and many others...

Another good one is Refactoring to Patterns Catalog, will help you refactor existing code to a pattern...
