I suck at LEDs and electronics

I was curious if anyone out there knows of any kind of manual or guide about wiring and installing LED's and other lighting effects? I am SO BAD at it its embarrassing. Learning to solder is one thing, wiring LEDs and using circuit boards is another.

I wrote this a _long_ time ago, but it covers the very basics of single LEDs... http://www.antsnest.net/Garage/LEDs.php
