    Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot anything that moves (or doesn't move), ie. get out and use the camera as often as you can (especially if the weather is good for the next few weeks). Find where you and the camera have the best results (then fiddle with the 'options' later), ie. is it flowers on a sunny day, kids running around the garden, landscapes, compositional shots. Read a magazine or a website (using your P&S), and try and re-produce a shot they have in the article. Use post-processing, experiment with free programs like Olympus Master (as I see it shoots RAW), Picassa or GIMP.
    /Hope all this gives you 'food' for thought !

    Edit: anoter tip, join www.pix.ie so that you can copy & paste in your shots, that pic you have on the random thread of Carlingford shows potential. ;)
