My advice is to not release the clutch pedal too slowly between gears. You are bascially "slipping the clutch" which will cause premature wear of your pressure plate. Also, you might find that shifting at higher RPMs (3000 - 4000 should do it) will produce smoother shifts, particularly in the lower gears.

Congrats on moving to a manual transmission!
