I’m planning to buy a telescope. How do I know which one to buy?

Question by Alec Wood: I'm planning to buy a telescope. How do I know which one to buy?
My birthday is coming up and I want to look into some astronomical observing. I'm a beginner to this. My spending limit is around $ 250-$ 300. I've really enjoyed it with my pretty good binoculars but I'm ready to go deeper into it. What do you suggest for a beginner backyard observer for $ 250-300?
