Mike,

1. Buy the book on Zen Cart, it's advertised all round the site here, at the top, and is invaluable for any novice to learn your way through the system.

2. Read lots of posts on the key subjects that interest you.

3. Create a second copy of your shop on the same host, if they'll allow a second database, folders, etc., so you can play around with it, learn the ropes, make mistakes, without damaging your prime site.

4. Experiment, explore, test. And test, experiment, explore.

5. THEN ask a few questions about the key features.

6. DO NOT play with importing extensions until you're confident with how the core system and the template system works.

7. READ through the entire thread on a subject before you jump in with questions - often a questions is asked and answered on the more mature threads, even if you do have to read thirty pages of threads first.

8. DON'T RUSH. It takes time to understand and explore every nuance of the system.

9. Smile. And "sunscreen, trust me on the sunscreen"
