[Python] Looking for baic tutorial on adding a row to feature class.

Hi Folks

I'm a newbie on Python and am looking for any help/tutorial on how to use Python to add a new row to a feature class.

import arcpy

arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(r'F:\Project\Assignment', 'my_gdb')

arcpy.env.workspace = r'F:\Project\Assignment\my_gdb.gdb'

myPath = r'F:\Project\Assignment\my_gdb.gdb'
arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(myPath, 'TestPoints', 'POINT')

#add short integer field named PointID to TestPoints table:
arcpy.AddField_management('TestPoints', 'PointID', 'SHORT')
arcpy.AddField_management('TestPoints', 'Townland_Name', 'TEXT')
arcpy.AddField_management('TestPoints', 'County_Name', 'TEXT')
arcpy.AddField_management('TestPoints', 'URL', 'TEXT')

editRows = arcpy.da.InsertCursor('TestPoints', '*')

print editRows.fields

OID = 0
ptShape = arcpy.Point(0,0)
ptID = 100
townland = "Dublin"
county = "Dun Laoghaire"
URL = "http://www.google.com"

newRecord = [OID, ptShape, ptID, townland, county, URL]
editRows.insertRow(newRecord)

del editRows

This above works fine and I know that I need to comment out the part about creating the gdb and feature class as they'll already exist. My question is how to I add another record to the Feature Class 'TestPoints'. I believe it can be done using arcpy.da.InsertCursor so I'm looking for a very basic example of that.

Thanks
