Learning to play guitar?

Don't know anything about what is the right way to learn- I guess there is no right way. But how I started to play guitar, I learned A, D and E and started to strum and sing easy songs. I know I'm not good even now, but I never really practiced, I just played. First I just strummed chords, cos it is very important to learn to play the rhythm. If the rhythm guitarist cannot play his part, it does not matter how good the solo guitarist is, it sounds just awful.
Anyway, then I started to play simple melodies, some from tabs and some I learned by myself. Anyway, the most important thing is: just have fun and enjoy. It is the only thing that matters.
