Welcome to the forum Neil! You have found a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Not sure how much snake info you already know but would suggest the following:
1. Hopefully you will have already been told the one week rule - leaving the snake to get over the stress of its move and settle into its new surroundings by leaving it without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way it gets used to your smell.
2. As suggested by Lucifer, make sure you read the care sheet on here, (http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm) lots of information for new snake owners. Also helpful is this topic http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133.
3. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. I hope you got as much info on your snake when you bought it....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog poos!!
5. Pics are appreciated, in fact it is an unwritten forum rule!
Am so glad you decided to treat yourself to a snake! But I will warn you - corns are addictive. And yes, majority of us have stood up, and said "Hello, my name is **** and I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You have only just started down the path!!
