this thread addressed my only rules when i decided to start playing with bitcoins
1. every transaction will go through mtgox, it has vc backing and backed by silicon valley bank, in part, giving it legitimacy in my mind, translation, comfort.
2. always always always clear bitcoins out of the online account. always.
3. have fun!

Yes never leave your bitcoins with a 3rd party. I learned that the hard way when coinbase had a glitch last week. Never lost any coins but couldn't use them for 5 days.
Blockchain.info is supposedly pretty secure as long as you back up your wallet from there (its easy). If anyone ever hacked into blockchain.info all they would see is an encrypted wallet and wont be able to access your bitcoins
