Hi Robin -

I am also fairly new to the forum also but you will indeed find tons of information here and on other websites to get you started. Just take a deep breath and don't get overwhelmed. I found myself on information overload the first week, so I decided to make a binder. I printed and organized all of the information and wrote all my thought and ideas down both for my sanity and for future reference.
Good luck, just take you time and you can do it!!
