I'm new to this game and I just started playing with a few friends. However, I'm a little confused on the way feats work. My ninja is a level 1 half-elf. So he would only get one feat. However he has 2 class feats at level 1, poison and sneak attack. Do I get both of them and a regular feat or do I have to choose poison or sneak attack as my feat?

I've been doing that particular emoticon for something like 10 years and constant emoticon adding for much longer. I've been a citizen of the internet since 93 or 94 and I learned early that emotion doesn't translate well, so punctuating my sentences with emoticons kept my meaning clear. =D Here's a post from about 3 years ago and my very first post on paizo.com
That said, probably want to keep this on topic for the user. ^_^

I've moved your post to advice for you. ^_^ It's a better place for these kinds of questions. Website feedback is mainly used to report errors on the site.
I reflagged -- it doesn't look like it's moved yet, as it's still showing up in Website feedback.
What are you looking at for your feat? If you're a typical high DEX low STR ninja, it's hard to do something other than Weapon Finesse, but there are some other good ones out there.

As Kalindlara stated earlier, both Sneak Attack and Poison Use are class features and you get those for free as a level 1 ninja.
Feats are a different ability that you get at first level as well as every odd-level. Some classes gain more feats for free as part of their class features. There are many types of feats, but as a ninja the main two types that will be most helpful are "Combat Feats" and "General Feats".
Because you are a level 1 half-elf ninja, you will begin play with two feats. The first feat you receive is from being half-elf (assuming you are just the normal half-elf) and it must be Skill Focus. You may pick any one skill for the skill focus feat and you will gain a bonus from that feat to that skill. So if you choose "Stealth" for your skill focus, then you will get an extra +3 bonus to all Stealth checks (when you reach level 10, if you have 10 ranks in stealth it will then be a +6 bonus instead).
Your second feat is from being a first level character. Take a look through the general and combat feats listed in the books available to you. You can also search the Paizo PRD if you would like to make it easier. And as always, if you tell use more about your character, then we can help guide you to feats that will help you create the character you envision.
