Portraits with digital cams

The digital camera we have is as old as the boy. Got tired of taking crappy shots so was looking for a solution when I found this site with some tips on how to take good portrait shots with digital cams. Will provide links to that site once I find it again... Meanwhile, here's what you are suppose to do:

(1) Switch to portrait mode... *duh* right? But mine apparently came in a symbol of a tulip flower and not a head. So I didn't know I had one. Thought it was the symbol for macro mode.

(2) Zoom lens to max! (apparently you do this to blur the background)

(3) Force the flash to go off at every shot.

Well, tried it. See effect above. Not too bad huh?

Anyone with better ideas?
