Can someone please give me some decent ideas for the start of a game. My positional play seems to be my strength, but there seems to be very few openings out there that support this style of play. Any suggestions?

QGD is definately one. So are some variations of the English. KIA is another I believe, although I think that can get sharp pretty quickly later on.

Hmm I'd say not really, but that could just be my choice of variations ( I play it excluseively Vs e4). Could you give some variations Fear?
