Quote: Do you make the layer active before or after doing that?

You need an active selection. Just keep the image the way it is when you go Select -> Save to Channel

Quote:And are you supposed to set the layers back to not active when you're done with the picture or does it not matter either way?

When you have 'saved to channel' you are in the channels dock. If you try and paint there you will alter the channel (and eventually the saved selection)
To continue editing go back the layers dock and make a layer active. Be aware of 'where you are in Gimp'

Just keep experimenting, Gimp is a big application, always lots to learn.
