Well, look who decided to wake up :D
Consider trying blender 2.5, it's only in the alpha stage but I think it's pretty cool. It's also easier to see the editing tools.
I'm experimenting with it first before I look up a tutorial. So far, i've figured out... how to... put a sphere on the grid? lol
I started looking around during December, and there are no decent tutorials. I was just looking for how to freaking rotate the camera for a better angle, and today I discovered that holding down Alt and clicking and dragging accomplishes this.
