Continue to read mailing list, read blogs, and read books. Here some good starters: Communication Design - Dan Brown Designing for Interaction - Dan Saffer About Face - Alan Cooper, Robert Reimann, David Cronin The Elements of User Experience - Jesse James Garrett Information Architecture for the www - Peter Morville, Lou Rosenfeld Don't Make me Think - Steve Krug If you get through those you should feel more comfortable with process and be able to start experimenting with practice hope that helps.
