*Never delete a photo on the field (ie, from your camera), even seemingly horrid shot can turn out to be quite interesting, once you get it on the big screen.
*If you see red, shoot it! Red is one of the best colors to shoot!
*Don't fiddle with the technical aspect too much. This can be difficult, but start out by using the 'auto' settings, then as you find out the type of effect you're looking for, work with as few possible changes to achieve that effect as possible.
*The best camera is the one you have with you. Even if you don't want to lug around your DSLR, try taking your P&S camera with you everywhere you can, sometimes interesting things happen and you don't want to miss the chance of a great snapshot!
*Take picture of things that interest you. Sounds easy right? Just take pictures of things that you enjoy looking at first, this makes it easier to develop your technique and master the technical aspects of things while remaining enjoyable. Trying to hard can make your pictures (and experience) dull.
*Join Flickr.com and read the feedback, join groups, browse other photos taken with the same camera models you own. It's a great website and you'll find a lot of valuable constructive criticism there.
