It's cool to post link to other webmaster resources on here, right? Not like im linking right to a message board.
As to what's so funny: You.
But we were all there at some point, so what the hell. Also, don't forget, GOOGLE is your friend. Use terms like "newbie adult webmasters" and you will find MOUNTAINS of free information.
Good luck, it's a long road on which you are trying to embark.
