Here's the required reading on photography:

1. Kodak's "Top Ten Tips for Great Pictures" is a quick and useful read.
2. This little tutorial will teach you a lot in a short time, using clear examples. Pay particular attention to the section on "The Rule of Thirds."
   

And here's some further reading and learning, if (and only if) you're interested:

• Here's a set of useful posts from Lifehacker--an online How-to blog/website.
• More on the rule of thirds, from CameraHobby, by Edwin Leong.
• And another post on the rule of thirds, by New York Times photographer Howard French (at his blog, The Daily Shooter).
• Here are some tips on composing pictures from the Digital Photography School blog. (The writing here isn't always great, but the advice is generally sound.)
