I'm a noob myself but after a day I've figured it... :)
For NZB's i found:

I dont know why people post these long winded guides, such as http://www.slyck.com/ng.php,
it just scares people (maybe that's the idea :P).

People in my experience just want to know how to download, and maybe know the gist of it.

Try this, not too long:

Step-by-step Altbinz guide:

As you're just beginning I recommend the usenetserver.com 3 day trial. That way if you dislike usenet you only waste $3.
 
Better yet, use your ISP's free usenet to play with before you spend a single dollar. And if Slyck's guide is confusing, you are gonna have a hard time with usenet....period.
