Start, here: Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 12.04. If you're connecting to your droplet from a Windows machine, you'll be interested in: How to Create SSH Keys with PuTTY to Connect to a VPS.

If you're going to be serving a lot of static content, you'll get better performance from Nginx w/caching vs. Apache. See How to Install Wordpress, Nginx, PHP, and Varnish on Ubuntu 12.04.

If yours is going to be a high-traffic site, you definitely want to go w/a multi-core droplet w/memcached for MySQL: How to Install and Use Memcache on Ubuntu 12.04.
