I've known about blender since I was a young lad. Dunno how, or why, it is like sex; I just know what it is. I even tried to use it, too (unlike sex). Of course I failed miserably.

Years past by and I had the nerve to try it again, but this time I used it, and I did something with it. I really want to learn more about this software. My PC can handle it and so can I. I'm ready.

What is the best way I can learn more about it?
Are you in an school / uni? Take any and all computer modeling / design classes
I'm sure Lynda.com has some tutorials if you want to try it out (linus has a 1week free trial) I've used it for some 3DsMax tutorials and I personally like it.
mess around- honestly one of the best ways i learn is by doing random stuff and seeing how different things interact.

LOL,...
EDIT: and there are also dozens of YT tutorials out there, not all are of quality but you might find something interesting
This std comes in two forms nurbs and polygons if you mix them you get stuck with sub d's

I've heard of Lynda.com, might use it. I am using it mainly for hopefully modding for source games and stuff. Thanks man!
Andrew price does amazing youtube tutorials.

The Blender website itself has some pretty good tutorial series. But they don't really teach the basics, like worrying about polygon counts and topology, which are important for game models. For that, general modeling tutorials would be needed.
+1 on andrew price! especially for beginers! goto blenderguru .com you'll see tons of tutorials!
If you're still wanting a good resource for learning Blender, the Blender Artists form is really good. I've been using it for about ten years now and it's nice to have a place where you can ask questions. The community is pretty helpful.
