Rabbits make excellent pets...you're in for a lot of fun!
The best online resource site for everything bunny is, www.rabbit.org. Their articles are all great, and definitely worth following them on everything (literally, they are always right!)
Here's my rabbit. He's a himalayan, wonderful breed! If you are getting a rabbit as a pet- I would rescue one instead of buying a baby. Rescued rabbits are already fixed (save you $$), litter-trained, and your saving a life! And you can get one that matches your personality, since breeds don't make that much difference. Make sure you keep your rabbit inside too, a hutch is no place for them. My guy spends his whole day outside his cage and lives in the house like a cat. He is litter-trained, generally lies on the dog's bed or under the table. He's super-smart, and a lot of fun. Make sure you definitely fix your rabbit regardless of where you get it. It eliminates SOO many behavioral problems. They will be less aggressive, tempermental, messy, and smelly....an all around better pet!
I adore my rabbit (if you can't tell)....I wish you the best with yours, keep us updated!
