noobie to fluxbox. some help getting started

Hi,
I just started a new user acount to give fluxbox a shot.  It's far different from any other desktop environment I've ever run into and was wondering if there are any good sites to get information, any how to's for noobs?

http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/
Most interesting part is documentation.

But if you do not like long readings there is also good, concentrated info:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fluxbox
It is for Gentoo but almost all is the same just use not emerge, but pacman.

The manpages for fluxbox and fluxstyle are worth reading.

The wiki has some good info.
