You need to study and read a lot. In the beginners section you can find thread that will help you out understanding things in this forum and on bitcoin.
Actually i have visited the thread as what you recommended but not actually all can understand there especially if you are a newbie you need personal guidance for you to much understand on what to do. I`m not against on opinion but for me much better is someone interpret it personally, because some of us learn through to our experience as long as you will work hard and also keep it on our mind every detail in order to gain more knowledge.
