I have a general problem with not being able to determine when it is appropriate to use semicolons.

Question

I usually use appostrophes and it is incorrect, of course.
Is there a way to recognize the place where a semicolon should go? The examples I have seen are very obvious examples....and that's not helpful.
Are there any sites that could help me with this?

Thanks alot
