Can you assist me in developing a basic strategy for a little investing?

I'm finally starting to recover from the stock market crash a few years ago, where I stupidly had everything tied up in techs, and lost just about everything... so i dont want that to happen again!



I'm up to about $20k that is readily available to invest, and I will be able to add about $1000 per month to that. I need some ideas that will get me on the right track. I dont mind a high risk factor, but i dont want to be too stupid like last time, either.



I'm thinking a little short-term, some long-term, and some high risk, but dont know what percentages to put where, or where to put it, and would definitely welcome some advice.
