I found a site called photobert[dot]com and there's a simple online course for free. He takes some AMAZING pictures. I'm sure there are others however...

I could talk your ear off about this stuff.
A couple of sites to check out would be:
http://digital-photography-school.com/
http://www.shortcourses.com/
http://www.dpreview.com/
The DPS site has a great daily newletter with all kinds of cool stuff in it. The Short Courses site has exactly what it's name implies....tutorials about photography.
DPReview is more about looking at equipment and making informed decisions, and it also has a very active message board where you could post questions about any number of photography topics.
I would recommend the book "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson as well, It's not too long, and does a pretty good job explaining aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and how they all work together. I actually taught a short class on this not too long ago, and I have a one page cheat sheet if you'd like it. Just send me a private message with your email, and I'll send it on.

The Canon xi is a great camera. I almost bought it recently as well. However, I ended up going with the Pentax K-x because it's actually just as good, it's less expensive, and it comes with both the 18-55mm & 55-300mm lenses.
I like those sites others have mentioned, but I know of a few others if you're interested and want to PM me.

I have a Canon EOS and what I have found works for me is to take lots of pictures. The more pictures you take the more you will know your camera and how it works. Also I just randomly pick up my camera and take pictures with different settings just to see how it looks. If the picture isn't good just delete it.

One tip, visit your local camera store. You'll get to talk to people who actually know about photography and you can play with the cameras (with power).
We bought from a local store even though they were slightly more expensive and it paid off in the long run. They work on the cameras purchased through them for free. Buy your camera elsewhere and need some work done, they charge $100 per hour!
