Woe is my breadmaker

I got a breadmaker for Christmas (technically Kelly got a breadmaker but HA HA HA) and I have no idea how to use it. I just wanted one because the only kinds of bread I like to eat are around $5 a loaf, plus the girls on Crimes Against Food (awesome podcast if you're a foodie) approve of them. I thought I could save money and make some quality bread.

Now I have one and I don't know the first thing to do. Even though I've made bread from scratch, the instructions made me a bit nervous about screwing it up, and instead of having any sensible basic recipes, it just told me how to make crazy loaves. I want to master multigrain before I attempt, you know, kalamata olive parmesan basil loaf.

There's nothing in my trusted recipe websites about breadmakers, and the websites I can find are unappealingly designed and crammed with ads. Have you any leads for me?
