10.2.2.1 Caveat editor
Two important comments concerning .emacs files are in order. First, if you are inserting code into your .emacs file, you may end up putting in something that causes Emacs to fail or behave strangely. If this happens, you can invoke Emacs without running your .emacs file: simply invoke Emacs with the command-line option -q, and Emacs will not run your .emacs file. (Chapter 13 gives instructions for starting Emacs from the command-line on Windows and Mac OS X.) You can then examine the file to figure out what went wrong.
The other comment is perhaps the most important piece of advice we can give you concerning customizing your Emacs environment: steal mercilessly from other users. In particular, if you are dealing with a messy situation involving a configuration problem or a subtle point about some specialized mode, it is possible that some other user has solved the problem(s) already. This is not dishonest or subversive in any way; rather, it is encouraged by the makers of GNU Emacs, who would rather software be shared than kept to oneself. Emacs even provides an easy way to try out other users' .emacs files: invoke Emacs with the option -u username, and username's .emacs file will run instead of yours. (Of course, this works only with users on multiuser systems.)
In fact, numerous example .emacs files are available on the Web. (Check out "the very unofficial" .emacs site, http://www.dotemacs.de/.)
