Start by reading the wiki guides.
/r/silkroad on reddit also has some decent FAQs and guides.

There is plenty of info out there.

Read the links, but in short-

1- Join silk road
2- Buy bit coins
3- Have bit coins sent to SR account
4- Put fun items in SR shopping basket
5- Use vendors PGP to generate a PGP with your address for bits to be sent to
6- Make order
7- Await fun items

By reading the guides given already i got it all figured out and some orders made within about an hour, and I'm pretty thick, me

"Use vendors PGP to generate a PGP with your address for bits to be sent to"
I have been able to encrypt my address etc with GNU. Do i put this "gibberish"  address in please enter your name and address spot. Or do i need to use vendor's encrypted address to something. I'm not sure how the vendor decrypts mine. Thank you for the help.

You encrypt it using the vendor's public key, normally listed right in the item listing itself or on the vendor's page. The vendor decrypts it using the corresponding private key (which only the vendor has).
