Hi AnnM and welcome to CWE.
This forum is very easy to use and you will get a lot of help and advice from it, I know I have. Many people deal with the same issues that you are and can offer some help.
A web site that I found that gives the seizures types and what accurse during them is
Other people may be able to direct you to different ones.
It has the types of seizures and things that happen during them written out pretty easy to understand.
An aura is also known as a simple partial seizure.
The most common types of seizures that most people have on here are simple partial, complex partial and tonic clonic. What happens during them are described on that web site.
If you have questions about seizures or anything else ask them here on the forum.

Hi AnneM, welcome to CWE 
You'll find we're a nice bunch that try offer support and advice to anyone that posts.
It might be better if you put the questions you put in your profile in a forum post like this one, mainly so more people will see it. But I read it, and it sounds like valeriedl did too- coz there's some really good advice above, that's a great site as well as this for info
There are tips for using this forum at http://www.coping-with-epilepsy/index.php?p=start but it seems you've mastered the basics already- you've made a first post
Don't be afraid to ask for help, or post more info about your condition in the main sections. Take time to read what topics the different sub-forums are for, put your posts in the ones that sound like what you want to ask/talk about etc and your posts will get even faster replys.
I know it's hard to deal with a new condition, as well as dealing with forum software lol but it's actually quite easy to 'chat' here and I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly
Check out this thread as well if you're new to epilepsy http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/forums/f23/epilepsy-101-part-faq-part-tips-advice-1255/
