Welcome to the forum.  With so many choices it's hard to know where to
begin.  The quickest and easiest way to get started is with the Black
Only (BO) technique.  You can do it now with what you have, without
any investment or commitment to a particular system.  It will teach
you a lot of the basics while you "get your feet wet".  Any time you
feel ready you can try other things.

There is information about how to do it at the web link below.  See
article #3.


Regards,
Clayton
