forum, helps me a lot!!! i don't understand half of what i'm reading, but hey, i posted my first beginer pic less then a month ago, so i think there is some progress :)
plus, forum gives a lot of inspiration, like challenges for example (for which i still didn't start working hehe).

And also, i'm not sure if it's Bryce that gives people the spirit, but in other forums; much less action :)
