Was wondering if anyone knows a website that will teach me how to use the terminal in apple?
I've learned one command (top) and would love to learn everything I can about the terminal. Thanks.

The terminal is simply a way to access OS X's Unix underbelly, so any guide or introduction to Unix should do.
Rob Griff of Macworld Magazine, Macosxhints.com, and these forums fame also wrote a intro, available here.

Any site that teaches you about UNIX! (The terminal in OS X is just like the terminal in Linux, except there are little OS X specific tricks you can do to change programs, such as making the dock at the top of the screen or setting Safari to debug mode).
Might want to bookmark this. Some of the stuff in here are Linux specific (for example, I do not believe OS X has eMacs) and some are too advanced for a beginner to use, but its a good glossary.

Learn to change directories in UNIX (terminal) first. To open a folder, type:

code:
 cd (folder name) 

---

If the folder name contains spaces, use a before the space. For example, Adobe Photoshop in terminal would be Adobe Photoshop. If you want to go back one folder, type

code:
cd ..

---

to see a list of all files and folders in the current directory, type

code:
ls

Another way to handle spaces is to enclose the whole title in quotes " ".

While [ls ] telles it to list the files it will not stop them from rolling off the screen if there is more than one page. Therefore you need to pipe the results through [ more ] or actually more powerful [ less ].
To find out what all of these and any other command does and how to use it type

code:
 man <command>

Thisa will give you the user help pages in a UNIX env.
