I found a really good guide yesterday that explains things in detail and in a fairly easy to understand way. I've reblogged if you are interested.
One of the things he mentions is a website called gift giver.site where you can get some free RC to get you started. I had a few people help me out with RC in the beginning, had I not had their help I probably wouldn't have stuck about.
Yes, I've used it before with new folks. Thanks.
