Welcome to TPF.

Here's two great links to learn the basics:
10 Top Photography Composition Rules | Amateur Snapper
Exposure Lessons, in order Stop Shooting Auto!

And here's a mix of basic/advanced tutorials:
Digital Photography Tutorials


More importantly, just have fun. If photography becomes a burden to you, you won't enjoy it or use your camera the way it should be used, as often as it should be used.

Actually, you bought a Canon 1000D.

Read the camera users manual and learn where all the buttons dials menu features are.

Did you also get a lens? If so, which one?
