I came across this link to an excellent book on SQL Server Maintenance:
http://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/brads-sure-guide-to-sql-server-maintenance-plans/
THe PDF is free to download. After reading through it I have a lot more understanding about SQL Server Maintenance Plans and how to use them effectively.
