How to start 6-max?

[jively]

I currently play $0.50/$1, mostly at Party, and am thinking about building my short-handed skills. Is it worthwhile to try $0.25/$0.50 or $0.50/$1 6-max at sites like PokerStars?

Can someone point me to a post/thread about suggested orders of moving up? Like was $1/2 6-max better to play before or after $1/2 full? Or was it just important before going to $2/$4?

Thanks!
