May I suggest that you invest about $ 100 (you just missed a nice sale) into Laura Shoe's Lightroom DVDs. I went this root and learned quite a bit. I would STRONGLY suggest that, before you begin really using Lr, that you completely understand the why, what and how of it's organizational capabilities. Accomplishing just that will save you endless time later. Best of luck.
OMG $100? Laura has a free version that covers most of it. It is very good. And one of the big advantages of using Adobe products, is the community support. Lots of good free info. Many resources.
