Smile Help! I'm new to this!

Hello Everyone!
I have been reading through a lot of threads, and trying to find some answers to my questions, but still haven't been able to locate exactly what I'm looking for. Although I have learned a lot from everyone's post. Anyway, I'm new to this whole 'miles' thing, but I was reading a magazine article about earning miles and all the different ways you can use them, and I am extremely interested in starting to earn them. Currently, I'm 23 years old, have good credit, and am still in school. I travel multiple times a year, and I'm just looking for some guidance and tips to getting this started. Really basic stuff. How can I start earning miles for airline alliances, or hotel upgrades? I have one credit card, but I don't really get any great rewards from it. Should I get a credit card that will let me start earning miles? If so, which one? I'm hoping that if i start now, I can just keep saving as I get older. Anyway, any help would be great, and I have appreciated everyone's comments! Thanks
