.. but sometimes I don't even know where to start.
you made 2 good points here.

to address those 2 issues:

when learning anything new i think alot of people feel the same way. a bit timid. the best way to ensure you are asking a good question is to do the following:

1) search the site for related topics to your question. (read them and try to follow along)
2) search google groups or other usenet sites. (this helps you get a broad answer and more times then not you will find an answer)
3) lastly if you cant find any info about your topic or are haveing trouble w/ a piece of info. post it up but try to be as specific as possable.

4) this is a bonus but goto your local book store and grab a book and a coffee and read through a section or two adn see if you cant find a helpful solution to your issue. (alot of people use a book store as a library. kinda a bonus if yo have a good bookstore close by)
