Thanks for your helpful reply :)

Generally that's how I go about learning computer skills (i.e. as I need to use them). However I find that quite often (especially when it comes to fixing problems, following solutions I find online) that I end up following directions without actually understanding what it's doing. So I thought I should go back to basics and make sure I'm properly orientated so that as I'm learning to do things I know why I have to do this or that, what this or that terminology means, and how different things are connected, etc.
