So I used Wigs guide and unlocked and rooted my Galaxy Nexus. When I tried using CWM to backup my stock ROM I get the Droid on it's back with a red exclamation point. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Recovery isn't sticking.. use Root Explorer, navigate to /system and rename the file "recovery-from-boot.p" to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak". Then flash your recovery again and you should be good.

Awesome, thanks for the help! I will try it this evening.

Haha I think it's great you're new to Android and went right for rooting the phone. Catch on quicker than most (myself). You'll be happy you did it.

And after this one easy step you're ready to get started with the fun part and start flashing away!

I guess I like to get into things. This should be fun

Well I flashed Vicious JB last night. I will see how it works out today. Thanks for the help, and any good ROM'S that standout? I may have some small Superuser issues to deal with. I'm sure I'll be asking how later!

I use Jelly Belly and it is pretty flawless!

word. That IS awesome. when i got my first android phone(LG optimus) i had a plan to root it before i even got it home. coming from my iphone jailbreaking days(i know, i know, but i learned my lesson and will never go back to the dark side) i knew rooting was a must.
