I also am new and had similar experiences of making deleted posts, even though I also read the rules several times.

There is good advice here that I will heed too.

My advice is to read every response carefully when you ask something. It may seem like you are getting support from some, and criticism from others, but they all are valuable.

I am thankful to those who were gracious and patient with me and merited me. And also thankful and learn from those who criticized me. 

As was pointed out to me, that we are all working together, building this community.

And research, research, research....
