Photo and light tent help please!

[sleekbeads]

Hi everyone!
I got my camera fixed today and am all ready to take some new pics.
I also received the light tent I won in auction.
It's a cube pop up light tent.
It comes with a white, and variety backgrounds, and a front cover to velcro on.
The package came with no directions and I put it up and tried goofing with it but cannot figure out how to use the dang thing.
It's probably some easy thing... but don't get it.
Help please.. I really wanna take some pics!
THANKS.
Joanna

Its not terribly complicated.... Setup tent, place background in base of tent, place object to photograph on back ground, place lights on each side of tent to illuminate object by diffused lighting... Take camera and snap picture...

Try different lighting, different camera settings.... Its a lot of trial and error... Keep notes, what works what does not....
