At this stakes you are not going to make a whole lot of $. Thus, your goal should be to learn how to play. I would suggest experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. Observe how your opponents are playing and what mistakes they are making and devise a strategy to exploit their play.

Read these forums and read books. Spend more time reading than playing to begin with. Read all the stickies in the micro limits forum. Post hands that you were unsure of for people to explain to you what you should have done.
One piece of advice I'd give to newcomers at micro limits is DON'T BLUFF. Just don't do it. At the very lowest levels, it simply doesn't work.
You say you play tight, that's good to start with. But play even tighter when you're out of position.
Learn the power of position.
As for playing out of the blinds, don't do it unless you have a very strong hand. Completing the small blind might seem like small money but it can get you into trouble. Just fold most of them until you know what you're doing.

What limit have you been playing before this?

How many hands did you play and what was your win rate?

I guess Im kind of confused... Do you mean 100nl (.50-1.00 blinds) or 1nl (.1-.2) blinds...

My advice:
1. Dont Bluff
2. Play Tight
3. Dont Bluff
4. DONT BLUFF

If you're actually playing $100NL you're posting in the wrong forum. You should either be posting in "PL/NL Texas Hold'em:Small Stakes" if you're playing 6-max or "PL/NL Texas Hold'em:Full Ring" if you're playing full ring.

$100NL is not beginner stakes!

I don't want to sound harsh, but, judging from your posts in this forum playing $100NL would be a very, very bad idea unless you don't mind losing money. My biggest suggestion, by far, would be to move down several levels and start reading the forums I posted in the first paragraph.
