... It's all here; people just want the magic answer...
I am chiming in here to tell you that you are correct. There is NO "easy button", but all of the information that a newbie requires IS all here.
I have spent many, many hours reading from this forum and I have learned a TON of useful information. I have made mistakes and have had successes.
The people here are fantastic and willing to help the newbies with a kind word and great directions. However, a person does need to be willing to invest some time in order to understand what is required of them.
You guys are phenomenal.
