Welcome Aboard!
I highly suggest you check out the Tutorials (if you haven't already), find one for whatever software you're using and give it a whirl.
After many years of working with large piles of paper, I recently started a wiki for my campaign setting and have begun to move everything on-line. My attempts to "computerize" crude hand-drawn maps have been, well, less than satisfying. I know what my crude colored blobs mean, but they lack a certain style.
So, I set out to better learn how to make fantasy maps and it seems google brought me to the right place. I am not much of an artist, but I hope I can at least learn a few tricks to spruce things up.
