Vince,
Be sure to go to http://bit.ly/omahaSmurf and join the Ingress Omaha Resistance community.  You will have to be authenticated with us before you are given access as we are careful not to let the Enlightened get access to the information we have there and in our HangOuts. Once in there we have a ton of information you can use to increase your skills and level even faster. Speaking of which... L5 already?!?  Way to go!
Right now your priority needs to be the following:
- Link portals. Do this as compact as possible so that you don't waste portals and can get as many fields as possible. Links are worth 300AP.

- Create fields. Link 3 portals together in a triangle and you get a field.  A field is worth 1500AP.

- Capture Portals. Right now you are not high enough to effeciently destroy higher level frog (the nickname for Enlightened players) portals.  You can take down up to about L3 or L4 portals without wasting XMPs but work with a high level player (like Jolly, Tony or myself) to take anything higher. Focus on uncaptured portals (white). Although you do get AP for each resonator you put on a portal you will get lots of AP for placing the first resonator and the last resonator on a portal.

- Upgrade resonators. You also get AP for upgrading other peoples resonators, but not for upgrading your own resonators. Note that this can only be done on a friendly portal.

- Hack enemy portals. Although not the most efficient way to get AP you do recieve 100AP for every hack of an enemy portal.  Hacking a friendly portal give you no AP unless you Glyph Hack.

- Glyph hack.  When you arrive at a portal and tap on it you get the portal menu. If you hold down on the Hack button you will see a yellow bar appear above the Hack button and eventually you will be taken to the Glyph Hacking interface. Consider this a game within a game.  Depending on the level of the portal you will be shown between 1 and 7 glyphs in sequence and you will need to duplicate that sequence correctly to receive the full bonus. Don't panic if you can't do them all, you still get bonus for each one you get right.  For each one you get right you get 50AP and a 10% bonus on resources from the hack.  If you get them all right the bonus amount goes up quite a bit higher than that.  This is a GREAT way to get a lot of AP for not a lot of work.  Remember that hacking enemy portals also gives you 100AP as well so if you Glyph Hack an enemy portal you can quickly get a lot of AP.  Glyph Hacking (GH) also gives you points every time you successfully complete a sequence and those will become important to you once you hit L8 and have to get those medals as well as AP.

If you have a Google+ (G+) account please look-up Tony (Zeet959), Jim Francl or myself (W. Andy Roche) and add us as friends.  From there we can also use Hang Outs to communicate and get you leveled even faster.
