Strong suggestions for new pov-ray users
I've been seeing a lot of people saying things like "I just downloaded povray and made this". I'm getting tired of seeing the same things posted over and over to help such a person. So, if you are new to povray:
1. Use anti-aliasing
2. Don't save as a jpeg
3. Variety is your freind. Try using various .inc files

Any other things that should be known by everyone?

I think those are the main ones, other than the fact that everyone posts GLOSSY povs.
Re: Strong suggestions for new pov-ray users
I recommend everyone modifies an inc atleast abit for a render, its tiring seeing the same types of images. check this tutorial out, very helpful: http://library.thinkquest.org/3285/#Reference

I recommend you check out the pov-ray language reference, I found it most helpful.

When you're choosing the resolution you'll see some of them have AA0.3. Those are the ones with Anti-Aliasing.
