Awww Kaytee!
We've all been in the same position, its best if you put some photo's up first then the peeps in here can help you with any specific problems you are having eh?
It can be very confusing if you are new to photography and you have a nice camera like that one.
Id suggest you put the camera in the search feature then have a look at what people have taken using it.
Welcome to the site though, Im sure you'll soon be getting all the help you need. My advice would be to use the 'p' setting to start with.
My views are mine alone and do not represent the views of others, either implied, alive, dead, budding apparitions or know it alls. Anything I state, that doesnt go along with everyone else or THE RULES are stated to give another avenue to explore

I'm not an expert but blurred background would be because your aperture is too wide (the lower the number the wider it is eg. f3.2 is wider than f6.4) use aperture priority mode(A on your mode wheel) and set your aperture to the highest number you can get in relation to your zoom. As i say though i'm no expert but with my limited knowledge i would asume that this is your problem. Alternatively i may have misread your question and you want a blurred background then do the opposite and set your aperture to the lowest number and lock focus on your subject. Good luck

Kaytee,
Welcome to the site. The easy answer to your question is that there isn't an easy answer on how to take better pictures.
You need to begin to understand about shutter speed, aperture and ISO and how they affect the picture you are taking.
Try here for a start, it may help with the basics -

Otherwise, as a complete beginner you should try to keep the shutter speed high to prevent blurring, especially in dull or dark conditions, but there is more to it than that !

Hi Kaytee.
The subject is too big to cover like that.
It's best to start reading and understanding first.
A good place to start is your manual that came on the disc with your camera or a printed version if it came with one.
As Mike said taking photos revolves around three things ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Find out as much as you can about those and what each one does.
That isn't to say you can't go out and take pictures in the mean time.
If something goes wrong then tell us. Put a picture up as daz suggested and ask a specific question. We can then try to tell you what to do. Make the question too broad and it becomes impossible to answer. A little bit at a time is the quickest way to get better at taking pictures.
Trying to do it all at once will just leave you frustrated and wanting to give up.
You may think what you have asked is a simple question but it has a huge answer (several books worth) and you wouldn't understand it yet.
Good luck for now and start reading. Both your manual and here. Until you understand the basics you won't know what questions to ask.
