Learn about your camera !!!!
Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between. If you don’t have a book, download from the manufacturer’s website.
Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.
The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.

Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.
Get out and commit photography at every opportunity.
Learn your camera /cameras untill they become part of you.
Look at great art and great photographs learn from history study the work of others then go out and create your own work.
Have fun !!!!
1) children and cameras don’t mix – don’t let toddlers near your gear
2) clean your equipment (and the bag) regularly
3) protect your lenses against damage (use UV filters)
4) compose the picture in your viewfinder before you shoot
5) get inspiration from other photographers (check other people with your camera on flickr)
6) experimentation leads to interesting results

Someone already left the good Kodak link.
Read your camera manual.
Visit the library for a book on the basics of exposure.
Avoid excessive post processing.
Do not tilt the camera.
Think about what you want the viewer to feel and see when they look at your photo. What drew you to the scene? Try to show us.
Learn to recognize and use good lighting, either inside or outside. Shoot in early morning or late afternoon.
Wear a neck strap every time you shoot, and do not let your camera get wet.
Do not tilt the camera!
Have fun and enjoy your pictures!
