Welcome! Here are 4 resources that I find useful:

• User page design center for ideas on setting up a nice user page for yourself.
• Teahouse to ask for advice from experienced editors.
• SuggestBot can suggest articles for you to edit.
• Article wizard is a neat way to get started on an article.

Cheatsheet is a common suggestion, but I find the wikitext editor to be adequate without need to refer to the cheatsheet. The Missing Manual is as useful as they say it is, though.
