How to Begin Potty Training??

First time Mom and I haven't the slightest CLUE how to start potty training. Our daughter will be 20 mos next week and she is showing some signs that I've read about - she hides when she's pooping, and she sits on her potty that's next to ours when we go, and it seems she's going longer between wet diapers. I've read not to rush/push to much, so i've really just been observing her. She wanted to sit on the big toilet one time after I got done so I took her diaper off and held her there. She didn't do anything but she seemed to be "proud"...

How Do I Potty Train?

There are a lot of posts about potty training. I didn't see any about how to actually start doing it. My son has a great interest in the potty, so I would like to get started. How do I go about starting? What do I do? Do I put him in pull ups? Do I put him in underwear? How do I train him overnight? What potty did you use? Thanks for all of your help!

Pull-Ups And Potty Training

My daughter is 3, and only sporadically interested in using the potty. I'm considering switching from diapers to pull-ups to make using the potty easier. Rather than remove a diaper, and then put one on, I thought using a pull-up would be easier. However, they are much more expensive, and since my daughter is only sporadically interested in using the pottery, I'm wondering if it is worth switching to pull-ups now, or wait until she is more interested in using the potty? Do the pull-ups help at all with potty training? I know to go at...
