Default Transitioning from NL to Limit HE

I've been playing 6handed 100nl and 200nl for awhile now and I would like to delve into limit hold'em, preferably the 2/4 and 3/6 6max tables since those are the stakes I'm used to. Any general or specific advice would be great!

EDIT:
To make discussion easier:

I've gotten 15k hands in of 2/4 6max so far and have been playing break even poker. I feel my game is ok for how weak everyone else is but I would like to develop a serious edge and I know I have a ton to learn about limit hold'em. Some starter questions include:

Which hands should I be raising with compared to NL?
How should I play pocket pairs and suited connectors?
Is bluffing a lot less advantageous? Are there still a lot of spots where bluffing is effective?
When should I make continuation bets?

I can't think of a lot more questions, even though there are so many more facets of the game I should be looking at, so please bring up as many points as possible! Thanks.

I'm assuming those are poker books and not threads on 2+2. Looks like I'll be buying myself some early christmas presents =p Thanks

Continuation betting is similar in limit, somewhat. You're still looking for the right board, number and type of players, and position to c-bet or fire 2nd and 3rd barrels.

PP's aren't nearly as valuable in limit. UTG I usually fold PP's under 66 and raise 77+ (in 6max). In limit, using aggressive player's aggression against them is a little more commonly used since you're often HU on the flop/turn and would rather let an opponent continue to bluff without putting too many bets with mediocre hands. Bluffing is still advantageous, but you're getting called by a wide range of hands so it's not as valuable in a lot of situations. Smaller SC's can be limped after 1-2 limpers, sometimes raised in LP on a steal, are good defending (sometimes re-raising) hands, but usually folded in EP unless you're just mixing things up.
