I'm just starting to use GIMP to do some basic web design. I have no professional training/background in either web design or GIMP and am looking for some good tutorial resources that could help me scale the learning curve quickly.

I ran a couple of google searches and there are 100s of sites that talk about GIMP but I was hoping someone could point me to a couple that would be useful for a first-time user like myself...
