I'm new.  New to both the forums and bitcoin.
I have opened my first BTC account on coinbase.com.  Any suggestions for getting started or using a different online wallet?

coinbase.com is good as far as I know. inputs.io and blockchain.io are good online wallets. But im using bitcoin-qt Smiley

Welcome! Inputs.io & Blockchain are the most popular now. Just use the search function as this question is asked nearly every day.

Coinbase has advantage you can fund it easily. But withdraw it to your client like Electrum (Bitcoin-qt, Armory) as soon as possible.

You could always try Blockchain. It's a very good online wallet.

With the recent hack problems with blockchain.info, I think your best option is inputs.io.
