I need to.go into photo display mode. Push your info or display button until it shows you a histogram. Then you will be able to see it every time you snap a pic. You might want to extend the amount of time that each photo is displayed so that you have time to make quick sense of the histogram too. Also, make sure that your highlights are blinking so that you know if you've overexposed any parts of the photo.
I shoot to overexpose a very small portion of the photo usually. That way, I know that my histogram is as far right as possible.

oh yeah, its definitely my own stubborn "learn by doing or not at all" process's fault.. lol
I was proud of myself, I did watch my made in 1980 "how to use your 20D" DVD, twice. but the first time I didn't have a lens (kinda useless), and the 2nd time I was doing something else at the same time so half-ass doesn't even describe my attention level.
This is stuff that you won't read about in the instruction manual.
here is where I read about "exposing to the right"
it is a VERY interesting article if you're into sensor technical stuff. If not, it might be a little dry, but still good.

video =!= instruction manual
instruction manual tells you this control does X...
video is more to accomplish use X control like Y. I really should watch it again...
F-stop is a measure of how open your aperture is. The aperture is the appliance inside of your lens that lets more or less light in. The more light it lets in, the shallower your depth of field will be. Basically that means that the stuff you're not focused on will be blurrier.
Exposure can mean lots of different things depending on the context.
If you want to do some reading, get the book "understanding exposure." I haven't read it, but I hear that it nails down the exposure triangle (ISO, shutter speed, f-stop) in a very easy to understand sort of way.
