If you are worried about being thought of a a newb, just remember, we were all newbs once. There is only one way to grow out of the newb category, and that is to learn your way around. The purpose of this post is to point you to the right information based on what you really want to know. If you are truly new to mods, or just want to know more about the process (and possibly learn something), I recommend going through the help topics in order. Please don't be afraid to tell me what you really think. I have a thick skin and can take criticism. However, Posts that just say "You Suk" will be deleted. Not just because they are wrong, but because they impart no real information. And you loose points for spelling. If something in my help files is wrong, please be specific. And if you can, please leave a suggestion as to how it can be better. I will give extra credit for improvements.
