White Balance

[meandmine]

So this is for photography beginners. So I have a question, I recently bought a canon rebel t2i and I'm trying to give my images a kind of warm look and feel to them. I messed around with the white balance, but it's just not turning out the way I want them to. Any suggestions on what I should shoot as my first image and on what setting in wb I should shoot the first image in... Please help.
