Now what I'm looking to do here, is make an informative list for a quick reference, or to help newbies that are still learning.

The things you see with "x's" , are the things I still need to know. if you have the information I need, or know of something else that would be good to add to this, PM me with it. I'm going to make this a sticky and lock the topic.

Please feel free to PM me with comments, questions, or info you might have that could be useful here.

Thanks
