new to orchids (phalaenopsis)

I received one as a house-warming gift and was frightened at first, thinking it would be terribly difficult to grow, but it was beautiful for 3 months. Now the flowers are beginning to drop off (there are 2 flowering stems). I need to find some sort of reference site on their care (and directed to newbies). Can anyone tell me where I should go for this information. Thanks!
