See: http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/support.html
for some more support channels.

But I think you are here on the right place.

There are several solutions:

- you can either 'save' your symbology as a file (in style dialog), so
in a next project with other data you can 'load' your symbology via that
file

- you save your data+symbology as a 'Layer definition File' ( see
