I would avoid using guiminer till you understand a few things.

Most pools give you the basic command line to start cgminer and the like.

Bitminter is another pool, and its pretty newbie friendly.

Are there any other newbie friendly pools?

Most pools are easy to use, and you only need to figure out how to use cgminer or bfgminer.

if you're just mining with your computer CPU then download CPUminer and i think theres a youtube video out there explains how to use it
