Yep. Every question you've asked can be found in Guides and or many prior posts. Some of your questions rely on opinions and you could get good, bad and very ugly.

Asking for answers to your list of questions is like asking someone to write out this whole site for you. :c)

Best to get cosy, take a deep breath then read, read & read some more.

If you see new terms, there's a good Glossary in the blue section.

When you go to actually try some of what you've learned, post back with a specific individual question (make your subject title reflect the question) and many will probably help.

Welcome to the Forum.
