4: Check out amazon.com and look at the range of books/guides to photography that are available.

5: Think about what accessories you will actually use before you part with any of your hard earned cash. Don't shell out for a 500/$1000 lens if it's more likely to be sat in its case than on the front of your camera.

6: Make sure you've got enough memory available. Both in terms of your memory card/s and on your computer. If you take lots of photos (and you will) then additional memory cards and maybe an external hard drive for your computer will be good investments.

10: Most importantly of all enjoy your photography.
