wanted to start selling

You might want to try sending some of your photos to iSTOCK, they pay pennies on the dollar but its a good place to start. I have a membership on Shutterpoint, you might also want to try setting up your own website to drive traffic. Cheers.

In order to change any settings you have to turn the dial to one of the PASM or C positions.

EDITED: That camera is different from mine in setting control. Here's the page from the link Jeremy gave you for PASM controls:

END EDIT

You probably won't be happy with the results on manual mode until you learn more about the settings. S (shutter) will allow you to adjust the shutter speed more readily). A (aperture) will allow you to open or close your aperture and P will let you change ISO but will choose your other settings for you. I believe C is for custom to save your favorite settings so you don't have to keep readjusting, but if you are shooting in different places under different conditions, a custom setting won't be much good.

I learned a great deal about settings by searching for "photography lessons online" and by practicing. Kodak advanced P&S cameras aren't bad cameras, but you may not be as please with your results if you're trying to shoot for money.

Im a newb so excuse the question but how did you tell the settings from looking at the picture...

This question was already partly answered. But if you use the Mozilla Firefox web browser they have a plugin that will let you extract the .exif data which contains just about everything about your picture. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905

I also use Adobe Lightroom and it shows all that data as well. But I find that if I want to know what someone's settings were quickly its a pain to save it to my computer and then open it with Lightroom or Photoshop.

Before you start messing around with your camera settings you might want to check out this link: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=249006 its from a Canon forum that I read on but it explains pretty well about the 4 main settings on your camera: ISO/Film Speed, Shutter Speed, Focal Length, Aperture.

Also, the book Understand Exposure is extremely helpful.
