Actually, most of the changes that have been made, have been for the worse, SWCG's (salt water chlorine generators) excepted.

The closest thing we have at the moment to an easy start-up guide is the Intex sticky I just finished; it will work with your pool, although you'll get to the 'gotta-get-more-complicated' point a little faster with your pool. However, if you get the kit Watermom suggested, and learn to use it, you'll be ready by the time you have to get more elaborate with your chemistry.
