Electronics Basics: where to learn?
Can anyone recommend a book/website where I might learn the basics of electronics? As basic as possible would be nice. I'm just tired of seeing wonderful things on this website I can't make because I don't understand the first thing about voltage, etc.

You dont need to be an electronics engineer to build some things. If you learn just a couple things, you can get started. First get a soldering iron and some rosin core solder. Get the THIN kind of solder not thick. Practice soldering a few wires. Next, just overcome your fears and try building something simple. Get a KIT to build from radio shack or ebay. You will be surprised at what you can do if you give it a start and TRY. I learned electronics by studying books at the library. My father told me he didn't know anything about it when i was ten years old. so I learned on my own. YOU HAVE the internet !! what an advantage that is !!!

I always recommend www.allaboutcircuits.com, it's clear and easy to get started with. And it's free.

asking questions here is a good way to learn.
The electronics for dummies book has been most helpful in learning electronics.
