start reading here. READ EVERYTHING. Start with all the stickies then move on to other posts. read read read read read. this will give you a feel for what it is to play nl holdem, to ask to answer to learn. if you quit reading because it's not interesting to you, then you can't get good at poker. (because you don't like it enough). If you can't read enough and every post makes you think more then YOU CAN'T HELP BUT TO GET EXCELLENT AT POKER - because you love it and you came to the right place.

good luck. In the meantime, have no expectations because you don't know anything. just play and learn and start getting better.
