If you're still looking for help, the best resource I've found for just starting GIMP is meetthegimp.org
It's a video pod-cast based series of explanations of different post-production techniques using GIMP. I would just go through and find episodes based on techniques you want to learn - in the beginning it'll be kind of tough to figure out what's going on, but it gets a lot easier once you figure out your way around the program and understand what layers, masks, and so on do. And, for me at least, seeing it in video was the best way to learn.
Hope it helps.
