Default What Manual settings should I use for daytime landscapes?

Hi guys,

I'm slowly getting myself out of automatic mode and trying to create photos myself. What Manual settings should I use for daytime landscapes? For example, I know that for portraiture, I need to get as small (correction, I mean low number) an aperture as possible.

I have a feeling that I need to set my camera to aperture priority and set the aperture to as small as possible and ISO as low as possible. However, I think someone else has also told me to us time priority so I'm confused.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
