Just learn everything about the camera by reading the manual, shutter speed, apeture, iso ect. and snap away

amen to what the others said, and shoot, shoot, shoot. Practice gets you more comfortable with your camera.

Listen to what the others have said. When I first got serious about DSLR's I spent most of my time reading, surfing the internet for tutorials, buying new gadgets and a little time shooting. Didn't ever get much better until I stopped all the nonsense and just went out and shot 100 or more shots per day and looking at the Exif data to figure out what made an image better. Shoot, shoot, shoot! Once you learn your camera and see an improvement in your work, then read, watch, and buy.

I too welcome you to UHH and the wonderful pass time of digital photography - the best advice has already been given - digital photos are free after buying camera,cards & computer - they pay for themselves over and over in the pleasure of capturing what you see to share with others as well as revisit anytime.

Welcome to UHH. The best advice I can give you at this point is to read the owner's manual. If you find that you get stuck understanding the Canon owner's manual you might try David Busch's book on the Canon 650 it is more detailed than the owners manual.
I would also suggest you take your camera and go shoot and learn to shot in the manual mode as well as the other modes your camera supports.
