That's a very good suggestion. You need to invest some quality time on these message threads reading and studying things before taking the plunge. Seldom mentioned is the fact that your carrier can void the warranty on your phone if it's discovered you flashed to something from PPCGeeks(or any other custom ROM). Think on this.
It took me about a week before I was comfortable with terminology. It was perhaps on the 4th or 5th review of the
'How to Unlock & Flash your Diamond' thread that I was ready to try it. Even then, I was reading, reading & reading the responses from all the users before I had any idea what to expect with my Diamond.
I keep a personal log of all the times I've flashed to a new ROM. That same document helps me keep track of all the registry changes I prefer. Then I learned that files on internal storage always survive a flash, so that's where I keep my favorite applications.
Finally, I'll give a plug for mighymike's ROMs:
...what has drawn me into Mighty Mike's ROMs is the fact that he is very responsive on this board. When somebody asks a question, or observes some strange behaviour, Mike is there to ask more questions and offer meaningful suggestions. Basically, Mike seems to be a well-rounded, articulate individual, who can capture a thought in writing, and who cares about his user base. You can tell he has a sense of humor! Not to mention names, but other ROM cooks seem bothered by answering questions from their loyal (or new) users, if answers come at all.
Just my $.02
