Lightroom2 Tutorials - total beginner

timparker_NikonD60

I am looking for any types of tutorials that might be out there for total beginners. I installed the demo on my laptop then didn't use it enough during the 30 days so now I am going to try and get "focused" (pardon the pun) on seeing how it can help me in my processing and working with my images.

I currently am using a Nikon D60 camera, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and would like to use Lightroom to help me along with organizing and taking care of my images.

What I need is, Ok, I did the install, now this is what is next.....

I have found specific tutorials for features, but nothing for STEP 1 now that it is installed....TIA.

And if you don't mind spending a few bucks, the series by Michael Reichman and Jeff Schewe on Luminous Landscape is excellent:
