Find other people to shoot with that know what they're doing. Something like a camera club. That really helps by allowing you to ask question and get instant feed back. Plus you'll have some one with you that can explain things as needed.

Thanks so much for all of the input! I found a neat website that had some interesting reads! ThePioneerWoman.com

Took some cute photos of my daughter using the "A" setting! Learned quite a bit reading her stuff!

Another great recommended read....

I picked up the one for my T2i, and learned more in an 8 hour road trip than I would have ever imagined.
