As a fledgling content creator I've found that the required information is like a teenagers bedroom.....everything is there, but where?  There are tutorials and books spread all over the net and it took me months of hunting and digging followed by reading and re-reading to put it all together.  When I spun the newly created 'open-close' dial and my gizmo opened and closed I almost pee'd my pants.  There is a ton of old methods kicking around and after (painfully) learning how to edit the CR2 file I discovered that it's no longer necassary.

All that being said, I learned a TON of ancillery stuff and refined my search methodology.  Figuring out content creation is almost like a right of passage and folks shouldn't be in a hurry to make it too easy.  The difficulty of the process keeps the dilettantes and rif-raf out.
