Until you get the feel for the controls and some basic photography knowhow your best bet is to leave it on auto. Charge the battery and lets see some pics!
Down the road you'll need to learn about the f-stops, apertures, ISO, depth of field, flash settings, focus settings, composure and so on. Do you have a way of uploading the images to your computer? Once you get them on your computer you can upload them here or to photobucket, flicker, pbase etc and share them with other people.
BTW, did I tell you that
