where should I ask for help?

Hi I am new and need to find my way around the forum. I will be co admin on Incredible edible site. we are going to be flying solo with textpattern when the guy who has very kindly set the site up for us hands over full admin to us.
We have so far just been editors, so will need to learn fast. Have found the textpattern site and loads of relevant stuff I think. But we don’t know what we don’t know until we get in and have to do it all for real.
For instance we will want to embed Google maps, but the embed code is html, I have embedded these customised maps on other none textpattern sites but can I do it here.
our site is here. Just need to know I can shout for help when I need to, and I WILL NEED to.
Thanks loads
Posted this in the wrong place before so will delete from there if I can.
Please be kind to a newby.

Just start by searching… some possible search words… tutorial, overview, beginner, newbie

Have a look at the msd_google_map plugin. Any questions about it you can post in that thread.

You can :) Just try to ask clear and precise questions, most of it can go in the ‘How do I…’ forum, questions about plugins in the plugin thread, questions about layout in the ‘Presentation’ forum, and if you accidentally post in the wrong forum, someone will move it ;)
