When you were first new to blender did you use the beginners tutorials? Can you point to some good tutorials? So far I've made a castle...LOL!
Thanks,
Micheál

Try this:

Try everything, touch everything , experiment, ask the forums, the more you try blender the more you'll love it, I'm just a beginer, and I came to blender searching a good rendering engine, and the true is the lighting, materials and rendering features are great, I think modeling features should be great as well, and then there is a lot more like animation, scripting game development and much more that probably I will never learn.

Try the video tutorials if you've got the bandwidth, and the web page tutorials are great too!

Cad é mar atá tú a Mhicheál,
As another relative newbie, I'm finding the following very helpful.
There's a graded classroom tutorial book at:
http://www.cdschools.org/54223045235521/blank/browse.asp?A=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&C=55205
and there's also a great graded series of video tuts here:
http://ocw.tufts.edu/Content/28/supplementarymaterial/366743
If you check back through the links, you'll find that the vid tuts are part of a bigger 3D modeling course that includes PDF docs of lessons, and a couple of projects.
