question about what type of data to use

Hi... I have some questions about mysql, and what data types I should use. I am using php/mysql to make it easier to update a website. I am pretty new to using mysql, and don't know which data types I should use for certain fields (blobs, text, all that)... I was wondering if you all might be able to point me to a site that kind of explains that, or if you might suggest what I should use... The page that I am working on, you can see here: http://coloradomountaincabins.com/test/cabin-page.php

What I am going to be doing is storing all of the information for a cabin in a database. I will them have the ability to edit the cabin data by using another page (similar to this one: http://coloradomountaincabins.com/test/cabin-edit.php ). What types should I be using for the data? The images will not be stored in the database, because I want them to be able to change them easier...

Thanks for your help, please let me know if I didn't explain this well enough, sometimes I just go off about random stuff.
