Mad Pup,
I'm new to this like you, and just to reiterate what Rkurtz said, there is so much helpful information built up through the years stored at the forums and tutorials it's hard to come up with a question that hasn't been covered. I think there are a ton more people using this site than what the recent postcount might lead one to believe, just because so many of us are soaking in all of the knowledge available and not finding time or need to post often. The tutorials and the forum search will do you very well. You will still have questions, but the info already available will at least give you the understanding of the complexity of something such as making a campaign so you can go through the steps and ask questions when you get to steps that give you trouble.
I'm glad you could be here, you won't be disappointed!
